Creamy Chicken Salad

This is a recipe that is a favorite in my family. It was given to me by my step-mom and we changed it a little to suit our tastes.

CREAMY CHICKEN SALAD

4 ½ C chicken, cooked and diced
½ - ¾ Celery, diced
1 ½ C green grapes, sliced
1 ½ C mandarin oranges (see substitution below)
Sliced almonds (optional)
¾ C mayonnaise
¾ C sour cream
¼ C parsley
1 ½ T onion, diced
½ T lemon juice
¼ t salt
¼ t pepper
½ -1 T Good Seasonings dried Italian salad dressing (no substituting)

Mix sour cream, parsley, onion, lemon juice, salt, pepper and dressing mix in a small bowl. Combine remainder of ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss to coat. Serve with croissants or on a bed of lettuce.
*** I substitute 1 ½ C red grapes for the oranges. You could also use diced apples.
