I made this for a Hawaiian themed potluck at work and it was a big hit. I doubled the recipe. I added an extra 1/2 cup more pinapple then suggested. I used one cream cheese package 8 oz instead of 2 3oz. The only thing I would suggest is adding 2 packages of Splenda with your pinapple juice ( as previously suggested). I didn't want to add too much juice for fear of making it runny. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. Will make this again!

I am not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I thought this was great! Served on crossaint rolls. Very creamy with a great flavor. Nice change from a traditional chicken salad.

This was great! I used three boneless chicken breasts that I marinaded in a teriyaki sauce and grilled. It was wonderful. I'm going to add more pineapple next time! Thanks for the recipe!

Good basic recipe but needed some doctoring up. I used low fat cream cheese and Light Miracle Whip. Doubled the recipe and it was just enough for 6 persons. After tasting, I thought it was a bit too bland, so I added an extra 1/2 cup pineapple juice sweetened with 2Tbsp Splenda. I also used toasted pecan pieces instead of almonds. It turned out great and everyone liked it very much.

Much better the next day..... Next time I will add a lot more almonds, grapes and pineapple. Really like the cream cheese flavor instead of mayo or salad dressing. This one is a keeper. Can't wait to try it with the Hawaiian rolls.

This recipe is wonderful! I did use 4 1/2 chicken breasts instead, but I'm sure canned would be ok too.Creamed cheese was different for me in this but I loved it! I also used 1 pkg. of cream cheese (low fat) as suggested..and that was good. I did use 4T. pineapple juice,(for flavor) if it got too runny I figured I could add extra miricle whip and/or cream cheese. I love this chicken salad and will definitely make it again...it was easy to make.

Rich but very good. My mom made this for a neighbor's 'luau' and it was a hit. No leftovers! Thanks for a very good and original recipe, we were very impressed.

I made this for a luau and served it for King's Hawaaiin Rolls. It was a big hit. It is a nice sweet fruity chicken salad that presents well. I did double it.

This is an awesome chicken salad. It reminds me of one that a local restaurant serves! I left out one 3 oz pkg of cream cheese to conserve calories but you could just as well use the low fat cream cheese. 3 oz was plenty for me though! I also used toasted pecan pieces instead of almonds. I forgot to buy almonds. It was still tasty! This will be my standard chicken salad recipe now! Thanks!

Brought it to a potluck and it wasn't very popular... didn't like the canned chicken very much - I changed out the almonds for Macadamia nuts since it was Hawaiian.

This was very good! I especially liked it because it does not have a strong mayo flavor. I used canned chicken, but will try it next time with regular chicken. Try whipped cream cheese to make it easier and...no beating required!
