Ultimate Chicken Salad 10 servings

This is a very elegant chicken salad, so it's great for luncheons,
showers, and perfect for a wedding brunch! Since it's so colorful, a
footed glass or an individual compote would be a great way for it to
be served. Unlike a regular chicken salad, the ingredients give it
​
extraordinary flavor.

About the Ingredients:
​
​
• Chicken-I like to get the boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this
​
​
recipe. Cook then chicken the way you feel most comfortable.
​
​
• Rice-Choose your favorite but check out our ideas.
​
​
• Pineapple- The chunks are best; you want everything bite-sized. And
​
​
drain really well!
​
​
• Mandarin oranges-Try to get the ones in fruit juice or light syrup.
They give the best flavor in the salad. And drain well!
​
​
• Slivered almonds-Lightly toast at 350°F for the best flavor.
​
​
• Vinegar-Rice vinegar can be used for a milder flavor.
