Chicken Salad with Grapes and Pecans

I wanted to make a quick lunch for friends.  They treated me to lunch during a hectic week and I wanted to return the favor.  I threw in a visit with my grandson, and everyone enjoyed good food, friends and family!  The idea of a lunch with friends is too spend more time at the table than in the kitchen.  You could use a store bought rotisserie chicken to save the step of poaching the chicken.  Chicken breasts were a good deal and really poaching takes no time.  A bit of water, salt and pepper, celery leaves and an onion, all at a simmer with the chicken until cooked through.  Wallah, you have tender, juicy, clean chicken to use.
