Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying
2 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 16-ounce package shell pasta or gnocchi
¾ cup thinly sliced celery

1 5-ounce package dried cherries
1 ¼ cups mayonnaise
1 ¼ cups L&B Poppy Seed Dressing
1 ½ teaspoons salt

Directions
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a nonstick skillet. Brown the chicken breasts on all sides until the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Drain and discard the juices.

- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, L&B Poppy Seed Dressing, salt, and pepper.
- Fold 1 ¾ cups dressing mixture into the salad, cover, and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Note: the remaining dressing mixture should be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- To serve, fold in the walnuts, add additional dressing if desired, and serve over a bed of your favorite greens.
