Salad:

Add all the chicken salad ingredients to a large mixing bowl or a salad bowl. Add the dressing and toss to evenly coat.
Store in refrigerator. Serve within 1 to 2 hours for best results (it’s still good for another day but the almonds will soften a little and the grapes juices will run into the dressing).
Serve in croissants, whole grain bread slices, bagels, tortillas or wraps, butter lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves.

Recipe Notes

Use leftover chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken.
To cook the chicken, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Pound the chicken to an even thickness. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in a preheated 425-degrees F oven for 15 to 25 minutes until center registered, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts). Then let chill in the fridge.
