JaneWay's Famous Chicken Salad

Looking for something light and crisp for the summer? Rob's mom has a great chicken salad recipe that includes grapes and almonds. The fruit is refreshing and makes this recipe stand out from other chicken salads. JaneWay usually serves this in a wrap, which is great for a quick dinner, outside food, or as a meal on the go. The not as famous PaulWay substituted in some delicious sheep cheese once, which pairs surprisingly well with the grapes, but only if you like very strong cheese!
