The juice from the peaches adds a sweet note to this summer favorite. Serve on a bed of baby lettuces tossed with blackberries or grapes, for a special touch.
Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds
1/2 cup Miracle Whip or Mayo (using Miracle whip will make it a bit tangy)
1/4 cup minced sweet onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (If pressed for time, use 2 Rotisserie chickens)
4 small fresh, firm, ripe peaches, peeled and diced
Garnishes: fresh basil sprigs, fresh blackberries or grapes
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack (about 15 minutes).
2. Stir together mayonnaise and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Fold in pecans, chicken, and peaches; cover and chill 2 hours. Garnish, if desired.
Enjoy!
