2 -3 lbs frozen skinless, chicken tenderloins
olive oil
1 tablespoon margarine
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
seasoning salt
garlic pepper seasoning
mccormick's citrus grill seasoning
12 a lime
12 a lemon
2 gala apples, chopped
12 medium white onion, chopped
1 12 lbs green seedless grapes, sliced in half, lengthwise
2 -3 ounces sliced almonds
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained well and patted dry (optional)
kraft mayonnaise
sour cream

1
Drizzle Olive Oil in large skillet and heat to med.
2
high.
3
Add 1 T margarine.
4
Add chicken, frozen or thawed (if thawed, I cut into bite sized pieces first).
5
Season both sides of chicken with seasoned salt, garlic pepper and citrus grill.
6
While chicken is cooking, squeeze lime and lemon over each side.
7
When cooked through, remove from heat and lay on paper towel lined plate.
8
Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and put in large mixing bowl.
9
Add apples, onion, grapes, almonds, and oranges (no need to chop oranges, they will fall apart as mixing).
10
Add mayo and sour cream (two mayo to one sour cream) a little at a time until desired consistency.
11
Stir in almonds.
12
*Note - the oranges add a great flavor, but they do make for a slighly runnier salad as they hold water.
13
I also will sometimes squeeze a slight amount of lime into the salad, which gives great flavor, but also makes for a thinner consistency dressing.
14
Serve as salad, in a wrap, on great bread for sandwiches.
