CREAMY CHICKEN MACARONI SALAD

Lisa, who lives next door, gave me this recipe several years ago. This is really a delicious chicken salad. The red grapes and the brown in the sliced almonds will help to give it color and make it look more appealing, so do resist the temptation to used green grapes and/or blanched almonds. This is great as a potluck dish or as a meal on a hot day. As with any dish containing mayonnaise, please use caution and keep cool until serving. Keep any extras refrigerated for safety's sake. This is a meal for four very hungry people or as a side dish for over a dozen adults. Cooking time includes cooking the chicken and macaroni (at the same time) while cutting the grapes.
