Cherry Chicken Salad
Serves 4

Poached Chicken
1 lbs. Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts
1 rib Celery, chopped
1/2 Onion, chopped
1 Carrot, chopped
1/2 Lemon
1 Bay Leaf
2 stems fresh Thyme
1 tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Pepper

Salad
1 cup Pecan Halves, toasted
1 1/4 lbs. Poached Chicken, diced
1/3 cup Onion, diced
1 rib Celery, diced
1/2 lb. fresh cherries, pitted
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Sour Cream
2 tsp. Garlic, minced
1 tsp. Thyme
1 tsp. Rosemary, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste

For the poached chicken:
Place the chicken in a 4 to 6-quart pot. Add enough cold water to cover the chicken by 1 inch. Add the celery, onion, lemon slice, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove chicken from the pot. Cool completely and chop before making the salad.

For the salad:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place the pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, removing once to stir, until fragrant and toasted. Watch carefully to avoid burning. In a medium mixing bowl place the chicken, onion, celery, cherries, and pecans. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic and herbs in a bowl and combine. Add the chicken and gently stir so that all contents are lightly covered in dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
