Preheat your barbecue grill to medium. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil and sprinkle salt, pepper and granulated garlic on both sides. Place the chicken on the grill and cook on both sides until thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. NOTE: if the weather prohibits using the barbecue grill, cook the chicken in your oven.
Remove the cooked chicken from the grill (or oven) and let cool. Cut the cooled breasts into thin slices and then cut the slices into 2-inch pieces. Place in a zipper-lock bag or plastic container and keep refrigerated until needed. Note: you can do steps 1 and 2 in advance of salad preparation.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the dressing. Cover and hold in the refrigerator for later use.
Rinse and core the apples. Dice into 1-inch pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice to coat the apples. NOTE: The lemon adds flavor and also helps keep the apple from turning brown.
Add the celery, red onion, pecans, sliced chicken and raisins. Add the dressing and combine. Top with some whole Georgia Pecans for garnish. Enjoy!
