Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded chicken

• ½ cup mayo

• ¼ cup sour cream

• 2 heaping tsp curry powder

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 2 tsp honey or apricot jam

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ¼ tsp salt

2. Add the shredded chicken, celery, green onions, grapes, and toasted almonds to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until the chicken and mix-ins are evenly coated with the creamy curry dressing.
