I Finally Found One! (Chicken Salad)

No, not a husband....a chicken salad recipe!!!  HA!  I love, love, love chicken salad and am really picky about the kind I like.  I like the chicken to be chunky and not shredded, only white meat, it has to have grapes, and it must be made from boneless chicken breasts.  (Don't ask.)  I was searching the internet the other day for a recipe to try out.  As luck would have it, the first one I tried was fantastic. It's a little different, but perfect for my taste.

Hawaiian Chicken Salad

Ingredients


2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup creamy salad dressing, e.g. Miracle Whip ™
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, juice reserved
1 lb. cooked, diced chicken
1 cup blanched slivered almonds
1 1/2 cups seedless grapes, halved

Directions
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Mix in salad dressing and 2 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice. Stir in the pineapple tidbits, chicken, almonds, and grapes until evenly coated. Chill until serving.

ENJOY!
