ALMOND CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
This was printed in BHG's Prize Tested Recipes, May, 1994. It certainly has been a winner with my family and friends...kudo's to Judy Acheson who created it and won $100 bucks! I am posting it here for fear of losing the cut out magazine page. This is such a refreshing meal in the summer time served with some good bread and a green salad. The recipe makes 10 main dish servings. I have made the recipe X5 for events and it always gets compliments. The only changes I make from what is printed here is I double the amount of grapes and celery. Prep time includes cooking, cooling and dicing the chicken and chopping all of the other ingredients while chicken is cooking. Cooking time is chilling time in fridge. Hope you enjoy!
