Chicken Salad With Garlic, Dill And Pecans
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 4 thin-sliced chicken cutlets, or 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise and pounded thin
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 medium or 3 small garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill, divided
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Salt and freshly ground pepper for seasoning
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Toast pecans for 5-7 minutes, watching closely so they don't burn. Remove from oven, let cool, and chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Preheat grill pan or saute pan over medium high heat. While pan is heating, season both sides of chicken cutlets with dried dill, salt and pepper. Cook chicken 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature (can be made ahead and chilled, up to 1 day).
- In a food processor, finely chop the garlic. Add yogurt, mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons of the fresh dill, and process until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper (can be made ahead and chilled, up to 3 days).
- Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine with dressing, chopped pecans, parsley, and remaining tablespoon of fresh dill and toss until combined.
