Chicken Salad

I am really picky about chicken salad.  I don't like it when it has egg it.  I don't like it when it has onions in it.  I don't like it when it has a strong mustard flavor.  As a result, I decided to start making my own chicken salad instead of trying to find one out there that meets my checklist!

Serves:  6-8 depending on serving size

1 Package of trader Joe's roasted chicken strips (already cooked)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup of mayo (lite)
1/4 cup of chopped celery
1/4 cup of almonds (slivers not whole)
1/4 cup of dried cranberries
10-12 grapes (any kind but red or purple looks better)
1 T Dijon mustard or honey mustard
1 T olive oil

In a skillet, heat olive oil. Saute almonds until golden.  Set aside to cool.  Dice up chicken and put in mixing bowl.  Dice up celery and grapes and add to mixing bowl. Add cranberries to chicken mixture.  Combine sour cream, mayo, and mustard in a smaller bowl.  Once combined toss chicken mixture with sour cream based sauce.  If still too dry, add additional sour cream.   Pepper to taste.  Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
