Notes
For the best flavor, use freshly cooked chicken breast that has been allowed to cool.Adjust the creaminess of the salad by adding more mayonnaise or sour cream to your preference.The grapes provide a hint of sweetness without adding too many carbs, but you can reduce the amount or omit them if you're strictly monitoring your carb intake.Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
