Easy Chicken Salad

By
Matthew was the inspiration for this one!  He made a delicious chicken salad for Sunday dinner one day and I was in love. It was such a hit he wouldn't even let me take any left overs home.  Meany! Easy Chicken Salad 1 Rotisserie Chicken, cooled, skinned, de-boned and cubed ½ medium onion diced ½-1 Granny Smith apple diced 3-4 celery stocks diced ¼ cup slivered almonds ¾ - 1 cup Mayo ½ cup light sour cream 1-2 tablespoons dried dill (to taste) Salt and Pepper to taste Mix all ingredients on a bowl.   Chill.   Enjoy! Notes:   We have also used grapes instead of apples.   I also like to add diced tomatoes once and a while.   Chopped olives and dill pickles also make a nice addition.
