This chicken salad is one of our classic Whole Foods Market dishes. The tender chicken
breast, crunchy pecans and sweet grapes in each bite are hard to top. From The Whole
Foods Market Cookbook
Ingredients
Dressing 
1 cup mayonnaise 
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 
5 teaspoons honey 
2 teaspoons poppy seeds 
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 

Salad 
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts 
3/4 cup pecan pieces, toasted 
2 cups red seedless grapes 
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
Method
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, salt and pepper.
Refrigerate until ready to dress the salad. This can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. 

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the chicken breasts in one layer in a baking dish with 1/2
cup water. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes until completely cooked through.
Remove cooked chicken breasts from pan, cool at room temperature for 10 minutes,
then cover and refrigerate. 

When the chicken is cold, dice into bite-size chunks and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in
pecans, grapes, celery and dressing.
