I loved this - but I have to disagree with the nutr info. Pecans have much more calories and fat in them then listed on the nutr info. I guess I should have plugged this in my diet diary before making and eating it for lunch. actually 288cal 18 carb 17 fat 18 prot. Also too much dressing - 9/25/12

I absolutely love this recipe. I like to make a batch on Sunday night and take it to work all week with a whole wheat wrap and some lettuce. This recipe is also fantastic when made with almonds. - 3/4/12

I like this recipe but the nutrition information is way off. How can you have a pound of chicken breast divided into six portions and only get 3 grams of protein. Pound of chicken is 139 grams of protein divided by 6 is at least 23 grams per serving. This just doesn't seem right. Craisins are very h - 4/20/18

Delicious! I replaced the light mayo with 1/2 cup plain yogurt and 1/2 cup Light Miracle Whip. We'll be eating this all summer long! - 6/12/11

Super yum. I like to mix half craisins and half dried cherries. Also, to spice it up I add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. - 4/24/11

Been looking for this recipe;local grocery makes the full fat version in the deli. Prob w/theirs is the dressing:chicken ratio (would u like some chicken with your dressing?) I subbed .5C plain greek yogurt for .5C mayo. Still little too much dressing for my liking, but easy to remove some. THANKS!! - 4/4/11

This was really good! I didn't have any green onions so I used Chives and made just half the recipe since it is just for me. - 10/17/10

Excellent! I was surprised how much I liked the dijon in the recipe. I omitted the honey (due to diet) and celery. Thanks for the recipe! - 8/26/10

Thanks. It's funny you mention oranges. Although I haven't tried with this recipe, I was just about to enter a recipe for an old dish I used toeat like 20 years ago. I am crazy for oranges in recipes. I have a great chinese chicken salad recipe I use oranges in. I will enter that too Thanks again!
