My Favorite Way to Make Chicken Salad

Growing up, I wasn't a big fan of chicken salad. It wasn't until I made this recipe that I really liked it! The same goes for my family. I made this for them, and a lot of them don't even like chicken salad, but they loved this recipe! The chicken is baked instead of poached for extra flavor and juiciness. Then, the chicken is tossed with red wine vinegar, fresh basil and parsley, and sweet grapes. You can serve it as a sandwich, on a croissant, on a bed of lettuce, or use it as a dip with crackers! :)
