I made this today for lunch, and while I did like it, I felt it was missing something. I did not use the canned chicken, but shredded up my own cooked chicken. I also used walnuts instead of almonds. I think I will try putting the splenda in that someone else suggested to see if that makes any difference.

This has a really great versatility to it, and is very easy to throw together. I think I would cut back just a bit on the mayo, and either made a little less dressing, or add some extra chicken.

I halved this recipe to use up some leftover chicken. I used green and purple grapes since the recipes doesn't state which to use. Next time I will use the purple or red grapes only cause they add a touch of sweetness. I added chopped walnuts instead of almonds, served on large fresh spinach leaves on top of pita triangles.

This is a great recipe to build on. I would rate this recipe a 4 as is..and a 10 with a few modifications. Here are a few suggestions to turn this into a 10. I doubled the recipe. Use one "broasted chicken". Use one 8 oz. cream cheese Add one packet of sweetNLow to pineapple juice. Add a couple stalks of celery Use cashews for the nuts. Dressing use 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream Throw in a little green onion Throw in some dill. Thanks so much for this recipe. Its a keeper!

Potluck favorite. I used prewhipped cream cheese to make it easier. I used less almonds and added mandarin oranges.

I made this Hawaiian Chicken Salad for a bridal shower (bride was getting married in Hawaii). I made it the night before so the flavors blended well together. Everyone commented on how good it was. Will definitely make it again.

Always looking for new ideas & this one hit the spot! Anything w/cream cheese is good right? Used a roasted chicken from the deli & cut the meat into bite size pieces. Also added macadmia nuts like another posted suggested. My husband ate 3 sandwiches (served on crossiants) ...will be sharing this yummy recipe with others! Thanks!

Very good recipe. I have read other reviews and think that they may be using 2 8oz boxes of cream cheese (I almost did). It is 2-3oz boxes, not too much at all. I boiled a chicked and cut up the meat for this recipe. Otherwise made just as directed

This was really good. I used fresh chicken breast, left it in terriyaki marinade overnight and grilled it (great flavor). I don't think canned chicked would be that great with these ingredients. I also added mandarin oranges (great combo w/ the grapes and pineapple). Didn't have almonds, but it tasted good anyway. Also used fat free cream cheese! I think the KEY to this recipe is to make it and let it sit in the fridge OVERNIGHT. All of the flavors blend and it is to die for. This is a keeper! Would definitely recommend!

I've tried out so many different chicken salad recipes, trying to find one I wanted to make for a graduation party. I settled on one, but then when I found this I thought I might as well give it a try since we are having a luau theme. It was so great! Sweeter than the average chicken salad, but I loved it. I also chopped up some Macadamia Nuts and put them in. I highly recommend doing that, they tasted great in the salad.

The ingredients in this recipe worked well together but the quantity of cream cheese needed to be halved. Canned chicken probably is high in sodium content so adding salt when you use fresh chicken is necessity. I like the taste of paprika in chicken salad so IU added 2tsp of it. After adding that people raved about the salad. So it is good but just adjust to taste.

A keeper! You definitely want to make it ahead and serve it chilled. It's best when the flavors have had a chance to blend. My only recommendation is to use fresh chicken, not the canned kind. I baked skinless breasts and shredded/cut them, and the flavor was wonderful. I made it for a Hawaiian-themed party and served it in a hollowed out pineapple- beautiful! Everyone loved it!

I made this for a group of high school students for a meeting they were having at our house. It was such a hit! They talked about it every time they saw me for the next week, and when it was time for the next meeting, all I heard was, "Well, if you're making that chicken salad, we'll be there." I did omit the grapes because I couldn't find seedless and didn't feel like the hassle of removing seeds. The first time, I served it on pieces of baguettes, but this time I'm going for croissants. Great recipe!
