A delicious and easy way to use leftover chicken. The dill provides a nice balance for the sweetness of the fruit and the pecans added the perfect crunch. Used yogurt for the sour cream and pineapple chunks in place of tidbits. This was served on top of chopped Romaine. Definitely a repeat. Thanks for posting.
