Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 1/2 cup fresh herbs your choice (I usually use italian parsley, rosemary, and tarragon)
  • 1 onion yellow or red, thickly sliced
  • juice of one lemon
  • salt and pepper
  • 2/3 cup chopped celery
  • 1 small shallot finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup cranberries dried, sweetened
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves finely chopped fresh
  • 1/2 cup sour cream regular or low-fat
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Bread- Light Sourdough Shepard’s Bread, or similar.

Instructions

Roasting the chicken

  • Spray a shallow roasting dish with cooking spray.
  • Layer the bottom of the dish with thickly sliced onions and 1/2 cup fresh herbs.
  • Lay the chicken breast on top of the onions and herbs and squeeze the juice of one lemon over chicken.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast, uncovered for 35 minutes at 375*F.
  • Cool and chop chicken for salad (discard herbs and onions).

Making the chicken salad

  • Combine chicken with remaining ingredients. Taste for salt and pepper, and chill several hours or overnight to let the flavors blend. Taste again for salt and pepper before serving.
  • Cut bread into small finger sandwich size. Spread a small about of mayonnaise on bread (if desired) and place a tablespoon of chicken salad on each. Serve immediately, or cover well with plastic wrap or a very slightly moist dish towel and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
