Chicken salad recipe

I have been meaning to post this for a while. This is that chicken salad that was served at the most recent RS meeting:

Chicken Salad

3 chicken breasts (boil in chicken broth for more flavor and shred). OR buy 1
rotisserie chicken and pull the meat off.

Make 2 cups of long grain and wild rice. I combine 2 boxes of Uncle Ben’s mix
and use about ½ the seasoning from one of the boxes and prepare according to box instructions. Just use about 2 cups of that in the recipe and save the rest for
dinner another day. Or you can do a combination of 2 Cups any rice—Just boil it
in chicken broth.

½ LB. Red Grapes, halved
1 C Salted Cashews
Green Onions (about ½ bunched, sliced)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Dressing:
2 T Fresh Lemon Juice
1 1/3-2/3 C Mayo
1 tsp. Tarragon Vinegar (or rice vinegar)
¼ C Heavy Cream

Combine dressing and mix with chicken mixture. Serve on wheat bread or
croissants. (Makes Approx. 12)
