- 3 cups red grape sliced, or green grapes
- 1 cup almonds toasted, slivered

Instructions
- Chop or shred chicken (I usually buy pre-cooked antibiotic free rotisserie chicken) and place in large bowl. Wash, pat dry, halve the grapes, add to chicken. Chop the green onions and add to chicken and grapes. Chop celery if using, into small pieces and add to bowl.
- In a separate smaller bowl, add mayonnaise, sour cream, sherry, seasoning salt and pepper. Mix together well and pour over the chicken salad, gently mix throughout salad chicken salad.
- You may add the toasted almonds now or wait until just before serving to stir in. Refrigerate an hour for best taste prior to serving. Serve a portion on a lettuce leaf with crackers or on a roll or croissant as sandwiches.

Notes
- TIP: Toast the almonds. Place the almonds on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350° F (175° C) oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant. Or in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat, shaking the pan every now and then. Watch closely so they don't burn.

- Store leftover chicken salad in an airtight container for up to one week in the fridge.
