Instructions
- Poach chicken by adding chicken breasts to a pot of water and bring the water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 - 15 minutes until chicken is fully cooked to at least 165° F.
- Meanwhile, add all dressing ingredients to a bowl and mix well and set aside. Chop celery, green onions, and green apples and add to a medium-sized bowl with grapes.
- Heat a small pan over medium heat and toast almonds for 1-2 minutes, turning often to ensure they do not burn and add to the bowl with celery, onions, grapes, and apples.
- When the chicken is done, cube and add to a bowl. Add dressing and mix well.
- Serve in sandwiches with crackers, or in lettuce wraps.

- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Chicken: You can use a cooked canned chicken to save time or a rotisserie chicken.
- Apple: Pink Lady's or Braeburns are another great tart apple.
- Grapes: Green can be used too, although red grapes tend to be a bit sweeter.
- Almonds: We prefer this with almonds, but chopped unsalted toasted cashew or walnuts are a great option too.
- Mayonnaise / Sour Cream: Greek Yogurt can also be used in place of sour cream, and you can use all mayo instead.
