If you like Arby’s pecan chicken salad, you will love this chicken salad. The fresh combination of chicken, dill, nuts, and fruit makes this Chicken Salad Recipe with Grapes a delicious meal all year round.
Layer it on bread. Stuff it in a wrap. Pile it on a salad. Whatever you choose, this chicken dinner is a winner.
Pecan Chicken Salad
Have you had the pecan chicken salad sandwich from Arby’s? I love that they include fruit and nuts in their chicken salad. The problem with this particular chicken salad is that it is only available for a limited time.
I was inspired to make my own version of their chicken salad recipe because I didn’t want to wait months for it again. This chicken salad with grapes is the perfect meal to make on busy nights. It comes together quickly when you use a rotisserie chicken, and it tastes absolutely amazing.
The best part about this chicken salad with grapes and pecans is how versatile it is. You can serve it on bread, wraps, lettuce, or crackers.
It is also a great meal to take to picnics or potlucks. I always get requests for this pecan chicken salad recipe when we share it with others.
Ingredients Needed for Chicken Salad
Chicken salad is one of those recipes that you can change up to include your favorite ingredients. We feel that the combination of these ingredients makes this traditional chicken salad the best.
- Chicken – Use a rotisserie chicken from Sam’s Club or your favorite grocery store to save time. You will need to shred the entire chicken to have enough for this recipe. You can also roast your own chicken in a crock pot or Instapot, if you prefer to do that instead.
- Seedless Grapes – Gives the chicken salad a delicious sweet taste. Feel free to use red or green grapes.
- Celery – Adds a delicious crunch and fresh flavor.
- Pecans – Dice the nuts into small bite sized pieces. Toast the nuts ahead of time to give the chicken salad a unique and delicious taste.
- Mayonnaise & Sour Cream – A combination of these creates a creamy base for the other ingredients. You can also use Greek yogurt if you want to lighten the recipe up.
- Fresh Dill – Gives a rich flavor.
- Salt & Pepper – Use to season the pecan chicken salad to taste.
How to make Grape Pecan Chicken Salad
This chicken salad with grapes and pecans is so easy to make in under 30 minutes when you use a rotisserie chicken. It’s perfect for eating on bread or on greens all week long.
Step 1: Dill Sauce
- Mix together sour cream and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
- Chop the fresh dill into small pieces, removing the stems.
- Stir the dill into the creamy mixture.
Step 2: Chicken Salad
- Debone and shred the cooked chicken.
- Dice the celery and pecans and cut the grapes in half.
- Stir the chicken, celery, pecans, and grapes in a large bowl.
- Pour the dill sauce in and stir everything together.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Recipe Tips
This recipe makes a very large bowl of chicken salad. You can feed a crowd or you can eat on it for days. If you do not need that much, feel free to cut the recipe in half.
Save time by using a store-bought rotisserie chicken. We usually keep bags of shredded chicken in our freezer for chicken salad, or easy meals like this Chicken Pasta Bake or this Chicken Avocado Quesadilla.
Fresh dill gives this grape chicken salad its unique flavor. You may think that it seems like a lot of dill, but when you use fresh herbs you use more. Do not pack the chopped dill in your measuring cup.
If you are going to use dried dill for this recipe, please use about 1/3 of the amount. Dried herbs have a much more concentrated flavor, so you need to use less.
If you want yours to taste just like the Arby’s pecan chicken salad, leave the dill out.
Make sure to chop all your ingredients into small bite sized pieces. Not only is it easier to eat, the salad can blend and meld together better when the ingredients are smaller.
Substitutions
- Feel free to use different fruits in this chicken salad. Dried cranberries, chopped apples, fresh cherries, and pineapple work well too.
- Change up the herbs. Parsley and cilantro are great choices.
- Make this a mayo-free recipe by using a mixture of sour cream and Greek yogurt. You can also use ranch dressing or a mixture of any of these.
- Use different nuts or seeds. Walnuts and almonds are delicious in this too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make chicken salad with canned chicken?
You sure can. If you are making this exact recipe, you will need 5-6 cups of chicken.
How long does chicken salad last?
The grape pecan chicken salad will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Store it in a sealed container.
Can you freeze chicken salad?
I don’t recommend freezing chicken salad because of the dairy in it. As it thaws, it will become watery and will not taste as great.
What if my chicken salad has too much dill?
If you make it and feel like the flavor of dill is overwhelming, here are a few things you can do to salvage your chicken salad recipe.
- Give it time. Dill is actually an herb that looses strength over time. Refrigerate the chicken salad overnight, and the flavor of the dill may be toned down enough for it to be palatable for you.
- Add more of the other ingredients to tone down the flavor.
- Vinegar can neutralize the flavor of dill. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vinegar at a time to the dill chicken salad until you like the taste.
How do you serve Chicken Salad with Grapes?
There is no wrong way to eat this easy chicken salad. It all depends on what you are in the mood for.

Laurie says
I make a very similar chicken salad recipe. Instead of dill I use curry powder. So delicious. I am going to switch it up and try dill next time that I have some fresh on hand.
Jocelyn says
The curry sounds amazing. I am definitely going to try that the next time I make chicken salad. Do you add anything different to it?
Pam says
It was delicious! We loved it in the pretzel crackers, soft tortilla bread and toast. It made quite a lot and we will be enjoy finishing it up tomorrow for lunch!
Jamie says
How many people does this recipe serve?
Jocelyn says
I would say roughly 12 servings. It makes about 6 cups of chicken salad, so I would guestimate about 1/2 cup per person. I hope that helps and you enjoy the chicken salad.
Andrea says
Would 5-6 chicken breasts be enough for the 6 cups of chicken needed?
Jocelyn says
I would think so, but I’m not 100% sure. I usually just buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the whole thing. I hope you enjoy the chicken salad!
Suky says
This recipe seems similar to Panera bread napa chicken salad?
Jocelyn says
It might be similar, but I’m not quite sure what all is in their salad.
Bee says
This is a wonderful version of chicken salad. I had it on a sandwich and my husband had it just in a bowl. He actually ate it right out of the bowl I made it in. 🙂
Paula Brumley says
Calories per serving??
Jocelyn says
It’s about 220 calories for 1/2 cup serving. I just updated the recipe to show that! I hope you enjoy it!
Dave says
Made this last night, chilled, then had a sandwich for lunch. I’m 71 years old, male retired, and I like experimenting. I did cut the recipe in half, as It would take too long to eat. I will make it again, but thought I would add a little green onion tops.
Nina Hamilton says
I have to take a dish to a “Keto Only” birthday celebration at work. Does this qualify?
Jocelyn says
If you leave the grapes out of this salad it would be keto friendly.
Patricia Noble says
Hi, how many does this recipe serve please, thanks
Jocelyn says
It really depends on how you serve it. The recipe yields about 12 cups of chicken salad.
Teresa says
I figured you’d add chopped onion. Anyone tried it that way?
Karen says
I’m make mine with green onions instead of celery. We love it that way.
lorena says
I have made this before with a slight variation. If you like curry, add about 1 tablespoon spoon yellow curry powder to mayonnaise mixture and instead of red grapes, use green and make chicken curry wraps. so delicious.
Sarah says
Hello, Can you leave out the pecans? My husband can’t eat nuts and is there anything else to use in there place?
Jocelyn says
You can totally leave out the nuts. You could always use a little extra celery and grapes if you wanted to sub something for the nuts.
mindykeith says
i made this last week i use the 1cup of dill and all i tasted was dill i did not taste the chicken or the rest of the stuff in it .i think 1 cup of dill is too much so i am going to use less dill.but other then that its a good sumer dishes .
Jocelyn says
Did you use fresh or dried dill? Dried dill is way more potent than fresh, so you only use a 1/3 of the amount. If it was fresh, did you pack it in the measuring cup? Other than those two things, it could just be a preference thing. Most people love it this way, but you many need to adjust the amount to your taste.
Jennifer says
I have the same problem. I used 1/3 the amount because I used dried drill, and it is still overwhelming. Any ideas for how to salvage it?
Jocelyn says
I think dill is one of those flavors that some people are more sensitive to. There are a couple of options that you can do to salvage the recipe though. Dill actually loses it’s flavor the longer it sits, so it may taste better to you after refrigerating it overnight. The other options would be to add more of the other ingredients (chicken, grapes, pecans, mayo, sour cream) to tone down the dill flavor. Or the acid in vinegar can actually mask and neutralize the dill flavor, so you could stir in 1-2 Tablespoons of vinegar into the chicken salad now and see how it tastes to you. I hope one of those tips helps. Please keep me posted on what you do.
Brian Brock says
Could I substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream?
Jocelyn says
Yes, you can. We do that sometimes too!
Jean kirschenheiter says
Hello, I’d like to make this for occasions and gatherings. How do I double the amount of food? And what kind of bread do you recommend? Thank you very much.
Jocelyn says
To double this recipe, just use 2 times the amount shown in the recipe. Or just make the recipe twice. As for the bread, I honestly think this chicken salad is amazing on just about anything. Depending on the occasion, maybe a crescent roll would be nice. For picnics, a heartier roll holds up well. I hope that helps. Feel free to ask any other questions.
Margaret Whiteside says
I made this for the first time. I left out the dill, but added a little lemon juice squeezed into it. I honestly think that instead of mayonnaise, you could use Miracle Whip. I added purple grapes, toasted Pecans, celery, used rotisserie chicken from my local market, Duke’s Mayonnaise (which I prefer to any other brand), black pepper, and a little salt. My daughter has taken it to work for her lunch for two days on whole wheat bread with the potato salad I made. She loves it, and so do I. Will be trying out different things in it. Love it!
Nicole says
Thank you!!
Nicole says
Does anyone have any recommendations to substitute for the sour cream that doesn’t have any dairy ingredients??
Jocelyn says
You can also just use all mayo or any dairy free ranch dressing alternative in place of the sour cream. I hope that helps.
Patricia Smith says
I use lactose free sour cream
Bonita says
I use Tuna in place of the chicken & it’s delicious…omitting the dill…love it..
Pam says
Can Miracle Whip be used instead of mayo?
Jocelyn says
Yes, you can use spread in this that you like best. I hope you enjoy the chicken salad!
Karen Cooksey says
This looks yummy! I would probably roast the pecans just a smidgen and use a light olive oil based mayo and light sour cream! Fresh dill is my favorite and I five shelves of spices growing on a rack on my patio that prosper well in a southern climate! You have great ideas & recipes- thanks so much for sharing!
Cleo says
If you make this , can you freeze these , if you want to save some for later? Has anyone tried to freeze these?
Jocelyn says
I don’t recommend freezing this at all because of the sour cream and mayo. It would be better to just modify the recipe to only make what you can eat.
Teri Cranson says
Being lactose intolerant with GERD issues, I am wondering if using a Lactose free Cottage Cheese rather than mayo or other such oily dressings would be acceptable. I would probably also include sunflower seed or sliced/toasted almonds for added crunch… I would also have to use either lettuce wraps, or some whole grain bun or flatbread with mine. I could see this with shredded carrots or dried apricots as well. To avoid unknown seasonings that may affect my GERD issues, I would probably roast my own bird, simple enough to do at home and probably less costly than purchasing pre cooked one… and use the carcass of course, to make soup or chicken & dumplings afterward. Just wondering if any else has any tips on these sort of recipes for those w/ GERD… I’ve dropped from a size 18 to an 8 over the past year as a result of this issue… added to stage iv breast cancer, so I am trying to keep up my strength!
Beverly says
How r u doing healthwise right now?
Glenna says
I make this, only instead of dill, I add a bit of Poppyseed Dressing with a bit less mayo and sour cream. The result is awesome!
Laurie Schmeltzer says
Is 1 cup of dill correct? It seems like a lot of dill.
Jocelyn says
Yes, it is correct. When you use fresh herbs, you can always use more. I felt that way at first too, but tried it and found out it was surprisingly amazing!!
Gayle Shannon says
It is WAY too much dill. I used 3 tablespoons (approximately) and that was enough dill.
Jocelyn says
Did you use fresh or dried dill??? Dried dill is very concentrated and you will only use a little. Fresh dill is very different in the fact that you use more.
Kim says
I used a1/4 cup dried dill weed was that too much?
Jocelyn says
Not at all. The ratio for switching fresh to dried is 1/3, so you could actually use 1/3 cup dried and it would still be awesome! I hope you enjoy the flavor of this chicken salad!
kathly cooper says
I will use this recipe but will use only mayo as I do not like sour cream or yogurt. I think it will be ok as I have done this with other recipes. Going to the store later and will get the supplies to make it. I live alone, so I guess I
will have a lot of left overs. But, you know, some food tastes better the next
day.
Andrea says
Kathly, I don’t like yogurt either but I have a pasta dressing recipe that asks for greek style mixed with mayo. You can’t even tell it’s there except for the tanginess. But I know everyone has a different palate.
Lisa Frey says
What kind of mayonnaise do you use? Kraft? Hellmans?
Jocelyn says
Honestly, I usually just buy whatever is one sale or the store brand.
Kelly says
Hellmans.
Willsie says
This looks amazing – I would like to make for someone who has a mayo phobia (everyone has a quirk, right?) and was thinking of subbing out the mayo in favor of greek yogurt…any thoughts?
Jocelyn says
I have subbed out the sour cream for Greek yogurt before, but still had the mayo. I think it would be fine. What about using some Ranch dressing too?
Cynthia says
Would like to make this today. Can o use canned Kirkland Boneless Chicken Breast?
Jocelyn says
I have never made this particular one with canned chicken, but I’m sure it would be fine. We usually buy a rotisserie chicken from Sam’s and use that. I hope you enjoy the salad.
Yvonne says
Love this salad. I also add dried cherries and apples. Haven’t tried it with dill.
Kelly says
The dill is very good with this chicken salad, and i must say you can eat it just after making it, although, much better cold. I have also used cranberry raisins and some finely diced red onion. It is a fantastic recipe that is very versatile, also can add crumbled bacon just before serving!!
Ruth says
A couple of bistros over the years have served this sandwich. It’s been called Martha’s Favorite and Turkey Delight. I like it served on a croissant roll. Very good and refreshing. The grapes add a little sweetness.
Rosemary figueroa says
Live chicken salad finally got a recipe seems easy I do to own how to cook…yum can’t wait
Sue says
I love this salad. Been making it for years. Only thing different, I add chopped red onion.
patricia hill mclaughlin says
thanks for answering my question about onion.
Barbara says
DELICIOUS. My only change was in using tarragon instead of dill, just because that’s what I had on hand. I move in a circle of friends where we “take a dish” to gatherings often. This will definitely be in the top 4 or 5 “go to” items to bring. Thank you Jocelyn.
Jennifer Jones says
I wanted to make this for dinner tonight. Will it be ok if I don’t refrigerate it for the 2 hours?
Jocelyn says
It is fine to eat as soon as you make it. There have been plenty of times we just started digging in right away. Refrigerating it just helps to chill it and blend the flavors together a little more.
KK Toohey says
I have been making this salad for many years and vary it with cashews and red AND green grapes. Mostly because of more colour. Serving on lettuce leaves also seems to be a big hit.
Sandi H. says
Can use hard boiled eggs instead of chicken for a vegetarian version!
Jocelyn says
You could…but then it would be egg salad.
Judi says
????????????
Rick says
How long do you think this would keep in the fridge?
Jocelyn says
I think it would be fine for a few days. It usually disappears within 2-3 days at our house, so I don’t know how it is after that.
Sharon says
I also add cooked pasta to this, makes a great lunch or dinner salad.
caitlin says
I just made this today and I love it! I am obsessed with dill 🙂 I also added a green apple,and some chia seeds. I also substituted half the mayo for fat free greek yogurt.
Baxter'sMom says
I sometimes substitute drained mandarin orange slices or small cubes of Fuji apples for grapes; have always loved chicken salad with just celery and pecans, too.
Kentuckylady717 says

Kristie says
Thank you for the recipe!! I usually use almonds in my chicken salad but pecans would be great, too! Can’t wait to try this!
Kathy Gray says
Very similar to mine, need maybe 1/2 cup FINELY chopped sweet onion and be sure celery is chopped FINELY. Season w salt n pepper. Also use white grapes, tasting to be sure they are sweet! ,salad needs fridge overnite+ to get best flavor. Not for putting on bread, lettuce leaf only. Lightly seasoned buttery garlic toast,served along side. And a piece of room temp baby swiss like Lorainne cheese or Munster cheese.
Kristin says
Hey girl! I love chicken salad w/ grapes. I usually use almonds in mine, but it’s the same idea! Oh, and flipsides too…delish! Every time I eat them, I wonder: how do they make these?? Hope you’re enjoying your week so far! Always lovely to stop by and visit here 🙂

What’s the calorie count per serving?
Jocelyn says
I don’t calculate the calories on my recipes. You can copy and paste the recipe into an online tracker if you like.
Lillian Carpenter says
I took a look at the calorie intake. I searched for calories in each ingredient and figured it 2 ways using 12 servings. The first way was using chicken breasts and all other ingredients as listed and I got about 367 calories. The 2nd way was with chicken breasts again but using only 1 cup of pecans, lite mayo, lite sour cream (not fat free) and I got 295 calories for 1/12 of recipe. I do this on a lot of recipes and it only takes a few minutes.
Roberta says
I had my first onoe from a fast food place years ago and I’ve made it many times since. The only thing different I do is: I TOAST* my pecans, add 1/4 – 1/2 C. chopped onions and I use Miracle Whip, instead of mayo. I also chop my celery into smaller pieces. Makes a GREAT and filling sandwich!
*I toast pecans for every recipe I have. Incredible flavor!
Jocelyn says
I agree that toasting the pecans adds more flavor. But for salads like this I tend to not toast them. It’s just a personal preference.
Kathy Carlson says
Yum, Costco sells pkges of rotisserie chicken already off the bone. I’m not fond of dill. I think I’ll try curry powder. Thanks for sharing, (it’s 8 AM & I want some now! LOL!)
Jocelyn says
No way?!?!?! I had no idea Costco sold it that way. I’m totally checking that out when I go there the next time. And I think curry powder sounds great in this too. Just add a little bit at a time until you get the taste you like!
