Chicken Salad Sandwich Filling!

~Chicken Salad Sandwich Filling~

chicken (I normally use canned chicken so I use 4 small cans) or 6 chicken breasts
minced onion and parsley
celery salt
1 cup mandarin oranges; SAVE JUICE, drained
1 cup grapes
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup almonds, silvered
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons juice of mandarin oranges
1/2 cup mayo

Bake chicken if using chicken breasts with onion, parsley, and celery salt. Cool and chop into pieces. Or just mixed canned chicken with onion parsley and celery salt.

Combine oranges, celery, grapes, and almonds in a large bowl. Then add vinegar and juice. Chill for 1/2 hour.

Mix fruit with chicken and Add mayo right before serving.

Can also use pineapple in place of grapes!

Use for sandwich filling or just place on leaf of green lettuce.
