June's Take on Wendy's Apple Pecan Chicken Salad image

A friend introduced me to the Chicken Apple Pecan Salad served at Wendy's Restaurant Chain. I loved it and decided to try to duplicate it at home. This is what I came up with. I think its delicious and comes very close to the Wendy's version, but at a much lower price!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken salad turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

The apple-pecan chicken salad is a great recipe for a light and refreshing lunch or dinner. I like to serve it on a croissant or with crackers.

This recipe was just okay. The chicken salad was a bit bland and the apples were too tart. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
