Preheat a skillet over medium heat and toast the pecans for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced strawberries, toasted pecans, chopped celery, and sliced green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately on a bed of lettuce, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 2 days for flavors to meld further.
