Dried cherries are plentiful here in Michigan so I used the real thing! I'm not a very experienced cook so I had to look up exactly how to toast pecans: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.; 2. Lightly spritz baking sheet with cooking spray.; 3. To toast pecans, put them on a baking sheet and toast them just until they become aromatic, about 5 minutes.; 4. You have to watch them carefully as they are easily scorched.

Scrumptious is right! We slow-cooked our chicken 8 hours, and used this recipe to make chicken salad. Used pink lady apples and green onions (no celery) and left out the buttermilk. Delicious! Made 4 sandwiches and used them in letttuce wraps.

This is the best chicken salad that I've ever had. We made it for my daughter's wedding reception and had to increase the recipe by 10-servings so it would feed between 50-60 people. Everybody that ate some asked for the recipe, which made us (the mothers of the bride & groom) smile.

Great chicken salad! Always love finding a classic... I only left out the celery because I am not a big fan... but love it! Will definitely make again and again!

This recipe is terrific. I have made it using dried cherries and cranberries. I don't usually use the buttermilk though, and it still comes out restauarant quality, in my opinion.

Excellent twist on chicken salad. The cherries add a nice twist to the mix.

Great to substitute pineapple tidbits for the apples too.

I'm from Michigan where Cherry Chicken salad is all over the place at restaurants, etc, as well as plentiful dried cherries (one of the things I love about Michigan). This was good, but I thought way too much salt and pepper -- next time I'll use only a quarter teaspoon of each and see if that works better. Thanks!
