Servings:

½ Cup Mayonnaise
½ Cup Sour Cream
1 Tbs. Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp. Kosher Salt
½ tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
2 Pounds Skinned and Boned Shredded Chicken I use a store bought rotisserie, if I don't have leftovers
2 Cups Red Seedless Grapes, halved halved
1 Cup Pecans, toasted then chopped toasted

To toast the pecans put them in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook them in a 350° oven for 5 minutes. Take them out and toss/turn them and put back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. Watch them, they will burn quickly.
Make your dressing:
In a large bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper together.
Toss in your chicken, then the grapes and finally the pecans and fold until well blended.
Serve in lettuce leaves or with crackers.
