Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c chopped, cooked chicken breast
1 c celery, finely chopped
2 c seedless grapes, halved (i use red or purple)
3/4 c chopped pecans, walnuts, cashews or sliced almonds
1 can(s) ( 11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained and chopped
1/2 c mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
extra nuts for garnish

Steps:

1. Combine the chopped chicken breasts, celery, grapes, mandarin oranges and chopped nuts together in a bowl. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl combine mayo, salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together.
3. Add the mayo mixture to the chicken mixture and gently stir together to blend.
4. Serve as a sandwich filling (I love the delicacy of this recipe served on sliced croissants) or as a stand alone salad on a bed of lettuce. Sprinkle with extra chopped nuts to garnish.
5. VARIATION: I sometimes use fresh, sliced strawberries instead of the mandarin oranges. I have also used chopped apples. These combinations are really good as well.
