Everyone loved this. Deliciously different with the chewy apricots & crunchy pecans & celery. Had it with a bowl of soup on a blustery day.

I used the breast meat from a rotisserie chicken and while it was still hot, I shredded it and let some orange zest soak while I prepared the other ingredients. It worked beautifully. I used my chopper to really get the celery "near" minced. I used a bit more dijon mustard and I used the Greek yogurt. Other ingredigents used were honey-roasted slivered almonds (that you get for salad toppings, a little extra chive and finely diced apricots. Everyone loved it ... it was a big hit!

I thought this was really good! Next time we make these, I will use half of a stalk of celery instead of a whole one.

I made this for dinner last night and thought it was terrrific. I used boneless chicken thighs because thats what I had and it was moist. I used sour cream but I think next time I will use the yogurt for a healthier version.

very good! First of all, it does not say to BOIL the chicken. It says to bring it to a boil then turn it down to LOW simmer, it is like poaching the chicken. you actually can just turn off the water to let the chicken poach. Look it up. Yes never boil but do poach. secondly, chicken should not smell like rotten eggs like the last post mentioned. (sounds like its bad, or cooked wrong. Organic chicken never smells and is never dry. if you add the orange zest, the acidiy work with the chicken it should smell good. I followed the recipe and added a dash of honey.
Very good and healthy different version of chicken salad to break up the monotony.

I followed the recipe almost to the letter, however, I didn't have Dijon mustard and used Gulden's Spicy Brown, and Greek plain yogurt. Plus I didn't have chives and used 1 tbsp. dried onion. For the nuts I chose almonds and added the suggested dried apricots which gave a nice sweetness, plus added 1 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds (non toasted which added to the crunch.

Although it was tasty, it seemed to be lacking something and I couldn't figure out what it needed, given it already had so many ingredients. I tried adding more salt but that didn't do it. Since I had so much left over, I was going to try and freeze the rest...don't know if it'll separate and be as good.

i followed the receipt to the letter and it came out fantastic. I used chicken thighs vs the split chicken breast and the meat was very moist and delicious. The pita pockets were the best and I plan on serving this again this weekend but will be using arrapas with avacado's as a garnish.

You should never ever boil chicken! It is just about the worst thing you can do. The chicken smelled like rotten eggs, the texture and taste was as of rubber, and the dressing was just too plain. I remember watching a show on Food Network, and a contestant was being criticized for boiling chicken, and here there is disgusting boiled chicken! I would recomend to grill the chicken, or even bake it, and add some extra seasoning and flavor to the dressing. Overall this dish was a huge flop in my house.
