Chicken Salad, 2 recipes, one more work, one easy peasy, both very good!

[dewittycdw1]

The Long version:
3 Cups diced cooked chicken
1 TBlS minced green onion
! TSP salt
2 TBLS lemon juice
1 Cup shopped celery
1 Cup seedless grapes, red or green, sliced in half
1/2 Cup mayo
1 small can mandarin oranges drained
1/2 cup sliced toasted almonds.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Mix together, add mandarin oranges in last, as they tend to break up with folding them in.
Let it meld in the fridge for a few hours or overnight for best taste, before adding mandarin oranges.

The Short version (also in FFRC Cat Lovers Cookbook, Volume 2, page 43)

2 large whole chicken b reasts, cooked and cooled, cut into salad size chunks
2 to 4 cups green seedless grapes, cut in half
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
2-3 stalks celery, chopped
1 small pkg 1/2 cup, toasted almonds
Salt and peppar to taste.

Mix all ingredients with Henri's cole slaw dressing, make at least 24 hours ahead, or marinade the cooked/chopped chicken in the dressing at least that long. Add mandarin oranges in last.

Both recipes are good served on greens, with a crusty roll, or in a wrap also. You can used de-boned rotisserie chicken, or chicken in a tub, or chicken you bake, whatever you have available.
