Chicken, Pasta and Grape Salad image

A recipe I found in a Pillsbury cookbook. Very nice for a small gathering or for making a big batch for a luncheon. I am always asked for the recipe. I have never added the snow pea pods, can't find them in my grocery store, but I am sure they would be great. Serve on a bed of lettuce for a pretty presentation.
