Chicken Salad Veronique

Chicken_Veronique_RSA perfect salad for summer meals and a great recipe to make with children. This recipe is made even easier by utilizing store-bought cooked chicken or smoked turkey (or any leftovers you have at home. buying your meat pre-cooked means it is moist and can be sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices in the store. some commercial slicers have a setting of 35 which yields a nice thick cut so ask the person in the deli department if they have that setting before filling your order. Slices should be thick enough 1/4 -1/2 inch to give a nice cube of meat when you prepare this recipe.

FYI: Veronique in the name of a recipe implies that grapes are one of the ingredients.
