This is a very light and wonderful salad. We had it a my Pampered Chef party last night and it was WONDERFUL. In the future when making this I think I will add a little iceburg lettuce to make it go a little further and for a little more crunch. I will also think about adding strawberries, crumbled bacon, and some shredded cheese. (Swiss or Mozzerella would both be real yummy.) If you aren't a huge grapefruit fan you could probably use oranges and it would work just as well it would just be a little sweeter.

Mayo

Pepper

Dill Weed
red grapes (sliced)

Boil chicken until done. Toss out the broth and onions. Cube chicken. Add remaining ingredients. Serve on lettuce and croissant rolls.

Little Tip -I usually half this recipe if I am just making it for my family, because it serves a ton if you use the whole bag of frozen chicken.It is also best to let it sit in the fridge for a few hours or even over night.
