I have a catering company called Gourmet Sisters in Dallas Texas. My partner and I, Mary Fulton, came up with this idea and it has been a very successful item on our menu. People love chicken salad but don't always want it on a sandwich. The chicken salad is a very clean chicken salad with not a lot of ingredients but rolling it in pecans and parsley is very tasty and the presentation is beautiful! Adding the green apples slices take it to another level. As my friend Dana Cooper says..... It's so good it will hurt you!

Thank you for the opportunity to share a new way to have chicken salad as an appetizer, brunch or a hors d'oeuvre and to my daughter-in-law for suggesting that I enter. I might add that if you do not want to make the chicken ball you can add the pecans/parsley to the chicken mixture and make a sandwich....
