Chicken Poppy Seed Salad (TNT)

Hi...
We had this for dinner a few nights ago. We both had meetings on Wednesday night so I needed a meal I could have early....and this just fit the bill. I made it up early in the day so it was all ready when we needed to eat. It was really yummy too! This would also make a great luncheon for a ladies group too!
Enjoy!
hugs,

Chicken Poppy Seed Salad

Source: Home Cooking With Trisha Yearwood

2-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
4 cups seedless grapes, halved
2 cups slivered almonds
2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 Tbs. poppy seeds
2 Tbs. dried dill
Mandarin oranges (optional)

Boil the chicken in a large pot filled with water until done, about 45 minutes.
Drain the chicken and set aside to cool.
Once the chicken has cooled, dice it and place it in a large bowl. Add the
celery, grapes, almonds, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, poppy seeds and dill. Mix
until the salad is fully combined. I add mandarin oranges if I have them in the
pantry, just for fun.
Serves 12
