Instructions

Prep the Chicken and Veggies: Shred or dice cooked chicken, chop celery, halve grapes, slice green onions, and chop pecans. Toss all in a large bowl for a crunchy base.
Make the Creamy Dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, brown sugar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and dill until smooth.
Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour dressing over chicken mixture and fold gently to coat everything evenly without mashing the grapes.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Stir before serving and enjoy on croissants, lettuce, or crackers.
