This is what happens when you change the recipe too much. We added onions and tomatoes. For some reason it was really soupy. It never really seemed to thicken. Less salt could be used also.

This is awesome when made with Rotisserie Chicken and whip the cream with the mayo. One of my daughter's favorite meals.

I made this for part of a baby shower luncheon and people went crazy for it. It is absolutely delicious. Used rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club.

This recipe is exquisite! It tastes as great as it looks and is better than chicken salad I have had at high end restaurants! I doubled the recipe and used four 10oz cans of chunk chicken to save time. Doubling the batch yielded 10 cups of salad. I added 1/4 cup of craisens and about 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper for zing. I used miracle whip with the whipping cream and may have whipped the cream too long b/c my batch definitely does not have too much mayo. In fact, it may need more by tomorrow, it may get a little dry after it sits! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Excellent flavor, I substitued pine nuts for almonds because that's what I had on hand and also used celery salt in place of reg. salt.

This is my husband's favorite. It's better if you make it a day ahead. I don't use the cream and I used pecans instead of almonds. Wonderful recipe!

FANTASTIC! I used a rotisserie chicken. I followed the advice of others and only added half the salt and it was too salty. So, to fix the salt problem, I just added a bit of sugar and it turned out great. I love the almonds and grapes in this recipe. I will keep this recipe close by for entertaining!

This was a really good recipe with a mild flavor. I didn't measure everything in it, but just did it to taste. I used canned chicken so I left out the salt. I served this at my 4 year old's birthday party and everyone loved it. I had to leave out the nuts because some of the guests were allergic, but I'm sure the extra crunch would have been great. I will use this again.

Great recipe! I made it for my own birthday lunch that I had my family over for. Used canned chicken but didn't add the extra salt. Also used pecans instead of almonds. Everyone loved it. Very good on a buttery croissant. Yum!

This recipe was really good, I should have read the recipe and actually whipped the heavy cream, just added the liquid, not sure how it effected recipe. I should have listened to previous reviews and not added the salt. I used canned chicken and it was way too salty!!! and I love salt. I added some more grapes to try to even out the saltiness.

This recipe is wonderful exactly as written. I added some leftover crushed pineapple I needed to use up and it added a refreshing kick. I also added a handful of chopped pecans along with the almonds...delicious. I would recommend making it the night before so the flavors have time to blend. This is my all-time favorite chicken salad recipe.

Becky - this was an AWESOME recipe and thank you for sharing. I just got done tasting it for breakfast and it does taste even better in the morning! I made it yesterday and I doubled the recipe and after reading the reviews, I decided to add 1 TBS of Cajon Seasoning (just to give it a kick) and I diced up pineapple chunks and it was yummy. This is a nice creamy recipe and I was hesitant about the adding the heavy whipping cream (I didn’t sweeten it - were you suppose to?) and I was interested to see how it held together over night - it was just a beautiful today as it was last night (just more flavor). This one is a keeper - I too think it would have been super good if apples were involved. Thanks again!

This was good, and even better the next day. It was almost a little too salty for me, though... I'd suggest holding off on the salt until you've tasted it.. Otherwise, this was good and I WILL make this again!!! Thanks for the recipe!

I used red grapes instead of green--either kind adds a nice touch.

Tasty, but did have to make some minor changes and that's why it only gets 4 ****. First, only use recommended amount of salt if you have boiled chicken. If you have chicken that's been flavored in any way, or canned chicken, make the recipe first and add salt last. Otherwise, this will be a very salty recipe. I also added dried cranberries to enhance the flavor with a mild tartness. I did get requests for this recipe, so it is very enjoyable.
