Method

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, grapes, pecans, and celery.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until well combined.

For a lighter version, replace half of the mayo with Greek yogurt. Add fresh herbs like dill or parsley for enhanced flavor. Avoid overmixing to prevent a mushy texture and use quality mayonnaise for the best taste.
