Chicken Salad with Grapes and Pecans
Croissant is from valsdayton 
Ingredients:
* 2 lbs chicken breast or thighs, cut into small bite-sized pieces
* 1 cup mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie brand)
* 1 tbsp yellow mustard
* ¼ cup celery, finely diced
* ¼ cup pecans, roughly chopped
* ¼ cup seedless grapes, quartered
* 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
* Zest of 1 lemon
* 1–2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
* ½–1 tsp sugar (to taste)
* Salt (to taste)

Instructions:
1. Cook the Chicken:
Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
2. Cool Quickly:
Transfer the cooked chicken to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let it chill for a few minutes, then drain well.
3. Mix the Salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, celery, pecans, grapes, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
4. Add the Chicken:
Add the cooled chicken pieces to the bowl and gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
5. Chill and Serve:
For best flavor, chill the salad in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours before serving. Serve on its own, in a sandwich, or with crackers.
