My grandmother likes this as a meal all by it's self. The rice gives it enough body to be a cool summer lunch. The oranges give it a little zing. A great way to use up roasted chicken. I admit, I like it with extra oranges and no almonds. Ingredients:
5 cups cooked chicken, diced |
2 tablespoons oil |
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 cups cooked rice |
1 1/2 cups green grapes, washed and halved |
1 1/2 cups celery, diced |
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
1 cup toasted slivered almonds |
1 1/2 cups light mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. Blend oil, juice, salt, and vinegar.
2. Marinate chicken for several hours, overnight is best.
3. Mix in the rice, grapes, celery, oranges, nuts, and mayo.
4. Mix thoroughly and chill.
