Pecan Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
- 3 to 5-ounce can chicken breast, with a pop top or a 3-ounce pouch
- 1 packet shelf stable balsamic dressing packet
- ¼ cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 sandwich zip-top bag
Instructions:
Pack the nuts in a snack-size bag and tuck in with the chicken and dressing pouches.
In camp:
Add the chicken to a clean sandwich bag. Add in the nuts and dressing and stir well. Let sit for a couple of minutes to meld flavors.
Eat out of a pouch or as a sammie, or spread on tortillas, rolls, or bread.
Serves 1.
Notes:
¼ cup dried sweetened cranberries packed with nuts give a great texture.
Use whatever shelf-stable packet you prefer on the dressing – ranch and buttermilk also work well. Look for a 1-ounce or close for size.
This recipe was originally created for 3-ounce pouches of chicken.
