Bread and Company is one of my favorite lunch spots in Nashville. I always getthe honey pecan chicken salad sandwich, on their award-winning CranberryPecan bread, servedwith green apples and alfalfa sprouts. Sometimes I add avocado 🙂
When we started doing Whole30, since we’ve been vegetarians for five years, I needed to create meat recipes that I knew I would love. This, my friends, is one of them! Normal mayonnaise is almost always made with soybean oil, making it unapproved for both Paleo and Whole30 diets and lifestyles. So this Bread and Company Honey Pecan Chicken Salad Recipeis both Paleo and Whole30 Approved AND extremely delicious. Enjoy!
Bread and Company Honey Pecan Chicken Salad Recipe
★★★★★
5 from 1 review
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 1/2 cups shredded, diced chicken
- 1/4 cup chopped Red Onion
- 1/4 cup chopped Celery
- 1 cup chopped Pecans
- 1 cup halved red grapes
- 1 ¼– 1 ¾ cups sweet honey mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Mix the salt and pepper with the mayonnaise (click for the recipe for sweet honey mayonnaise ).
- Add the chicken to the mayonnaise.
- Chop up the red onion, celery, pecans, and grapes. These can be cut as small or big as you prefer, then add them to the chicken and mayonnaise mixture.
- Mix until combined. Store in the refrigerator, serve chilled.
Notes
I’m more of a grape and pecan fan in this salad, so the celery and red onion just complement and give a little crunch. Really you can use whatever measurements of any of these ingredients depending on your preference.
***In order to make this recipe Whole30 Approved, instead of the sweet honey mayo, use my recipe for olive oil mayonnaise . Add 1/2 c dried, pitted dates and blend in food processor to make “Date Mayo.” Use date mayo instead of the “sweet honey mayo.”***

This looks great but it is incorrect and misleading to say it is Whole30 approved. Honey is not allowed on a W30. I will certainly try this with my homemade mayo recipe sans honey, though!

Andria! Thank you SO much for catching that- I totally forgot to put in the notes how to make this recipe Whole30 Approved! I have edited the notes section- the date mixture is how I made this recipe during our Whole30s. Try it and let me know what you think! 🙂

Hi! This looks delicious! I’m curious how many servings this is?
Thanks!Caroline Fauselon February 6, 2017 at 7:37 pm
Hey Karen! It makes a lot! If you’re using 1/2 c scoops, I’d say between 10-15 servings! I hope you enjoy!

I thought this was great but I did have to figure out my own solution for the servings. We are using this for Whole30–I made the date mayo and had no problem with blending the dates–I did chop them before adding them to the food processor, but I didn’t lose any emulsification.
I think the previous comment about 1/2 cup per serving serving is too low for Whole30. I used 1.2 lbs chicken (translated to 2.5 cups shredded chicken) and figured this was about 3 servings for a meal (I did adjust the other quantities except the celery and red onion). Thanks for the recipe!★★★★★
