Dice the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, and yellow mustard. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the diced celery, red onion, red apple, red grapes, and chopped pecans to the bowl with the chicken.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper over the salad and mix again to distribute the seasoning.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, place a bed of romaine lettuce on individual plates or a serving platter.
Spoon the chicken salad onto the lettuce and garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
