Sonoma Chicken Salad Recipe

This recipe is adapted from one that appeared in The Whole Foods Market Cookbook published in 2002. It was sold in their Deli section of prepared foods. I don't know if they still offer it or not. I do minimal shopping at their stores and limit my purchases to specific items I can't get elsewhere at much cheaper prices. I made some minor changes to the recipe. If your are not a fan of Tarragon, omit it or substitute another herb. The original did not include Tarragon. I also poached the chicken rather baking. I added flat leaf parsley as well. I served the salad on a bed of baby spinach with cottage cheese, avocado and smoked Gouda cheese. The salad works well as a sandwich filling or stuffing for Pita Pocket bread.
