Chef Jeff makes a mouthwatering garlic herb chicken salad with cherries

This mouthwatering garlic herb chicken salad with fresh cherries on a summertime buttery croissant is perfect for a picnic, lunch, dinner or a snack.

Ingredients

• 4 c. chicken, cooked and cubed or shredded. I use 1 whole rotisserie chicken.
• ½ c. pecans, chopped (almonds can substitute)
• 2 ribs celery, diced
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1 c. fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• ½ c. mayonnaise
• ½ c. plain greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp. rice vinegar
• ½ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. pepper
• ¼ tsp. garlic powder

Directions

• Combine and mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Taste and correct the seasoning if necessary. If you feel it is on the drier side, add a little mayo until it reaches the consistency you desire.
• Allow it to sit in the fridge a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to combine. Serve on croissants or other favorite bread.
