I don't usually like to rate recipes that I've altered...but this turned out great so I had to share: I omitted the buttermilk and subbed a 6oz container of plain greek yogurt for the mayo which slashed the fat and calorie content, but b/c I used greek yogurt it did not compromise the flavor or texture. I also used craisins instead of cherries, cashews in place of the pecans. I also used seasoned salt to taste and added about 1.5 teaspoons each of fresh chopped thyme and rosemary. This gave it such a bright flavor! My husband said this was the best chicken salad I've made and I've tried ALOT of recipes.

I tought this recipe was great! Had to make a few substitutions but it still turned out delicious. Used miracle whip light instead of mayo, dried cranberries instead of cherries, and chopped scallions instead of celery. Also added a little garlic made into a paste to the miracle whip. Loved the flavor from the apples and toasted pecans!

Would give 5 stars, however, I prefer measurements on the protein, not this "3 cooked chicken breast halves". What does that really mean? Not to be anal but come on. I used the other measurements with 4 cups of diced, leftover roasted chicken and needed to add extra mayo & buttermilk so it was at least moist. Also added a tsp of deydrated onion, a splash of vinegar and more salt & pepper. I couldn't find dried cherries so subbed cherry flavored Craisins. I've prepared similar with walnuts but the toasted pecans were good too. Always, and I mean always toast whatever nut you choose so they don't taste "raw". I like this recipe but felt it needed a bit more acidity (vinegar, lemon or lime juice) something to give this more flavor. Great starting point to add anything else to your own taste. Update: I took this to work, mounded on fresh baked rolls for the "guys" at work and got rave feedback! I forgot; I mixed a big tbsp of sweet relish into this also. I look forward to using the dried cherries next time I make this recipe.

Very good, especially on a bed of greens and toasted french bread on the side!

Very good - needs some acid - either lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Other than that... it was great!

My 2nd favorite chicken salad on this site - "Fruited Curry Chicken Salad" is the best!! This is a close 2nd though and very tasty. I highly recommend both recipes if you are into chicken salad.

I was disappointed with this recipe because I expected the dried cherries to have more flavor than they did. On the whole, the recipe was great, but the cherries had no taste in and of themselves.

This recipe is wonderful. I never really liked chicken salad until I tasted this. I make it all the time and we are always sorry when it is gone. I have used plain old cooked chicken, purchased grilled chicken breast strips, and even leftover rotisserie chicken. When making it for others, several people always ask for the recipe.

I made this substituting seitan for the chicken and plain yogurt for the buttermilk. I omitted the apples. When I first tried it in a sandwich a few hours later it seemed really bland; the next morning, however, I tried it to see how it had mellowed overnight, and it was much tastier. I had thought I wouldn't make this one again, but now I think I will give it a second go and be sure to make it well in advance of serving it.

This is a good recipe - I used dried cranberries instead of dried cherries and low fat mayo. I left out the buttermilk but it seemed to be missing something - I think it would be better to use regular mayo instead of low fat. It turned out pretty good and is lasts for a few days.

An excellent recipe. The taste and textures are wonderful and it is quick and easy to prepare if you have pre-cooked chicken. It has become a favorite among my friends and family.

This was really good. We used chopped glazed almonds instead of pecans because we had them on hand. I think it gave it a nice flavor, but I am sure pecans would have been good too.

Quite good. Skipped the apple (though I think it would be a good addition) and used walnuts not pecans. Served on a bed of spinach with balsamic dressing, sliced a few avocados and tomatos... yum.

Absolutely love this! I had cranberries on hand so I used those instead of cherries. I made this before and ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made this again and didn't have the pecans on hand but used some almonds I had, just as good. Also I substituted plain milk for the butter milk. I will make this one again and again, thanks for sharing.
