How to Make Lizzy's Famous Pecan Chicken Salad
- In a separate bowl, mix together the Miracle Whip and milk, lemon juice salt and pepper,dill weed and sugar, set aside.
- Take you large bowl and toss evenly add shredded chicken, toss again, once salad is tossed well, add sauce, stir and add more salt and pepper to taste if it isn't enough for you. Add Pecans (again Optional)
Stir ONCE more, and then place in fridge, better if sits over night, otherwise ready in about 2-3 hours. - I serve mine with Miracle Whip and Spicy Brown Mustard on Wheat-berry Bread, I have found Wheat-berry makes the best sandwiches. BUT to each their own!!! Serve with chips, or My Potato Salad also here on JAP!!!!
Hope your next POT LUCK of Large family dinner finds this as BIG of hit as it has gone over at my functions and wedding~~~! Or even your small get together's~~~!!!! Enjoy ~Liz
