- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 27
- Total Time: 37 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups of grilled cooked chicken
- 16 oz box macaroni large rings
- 4 celery stalks
- 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 4 ounces Cool Whip
- 1 lb green grapes
- 2 cups cashews halves and pieces
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
Instructions
- Cook the chicken on the grill, cool and cut it up. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 ºF. Then set the cooked chicken aside. For faster cooking you can make the chicken a day ahead of time. Cook macaroni rings according to package directions; rinse and drain. Cut up celery and grapes in halves. Combine all salad ingredients, except the cashews which are sprinkled over the top just prior to serving. Pasta will absorb some moisture and seasonings. Chill for an hour before serving.
Notes
- The cool whip is the secret ingredient that really give this 2 thumbs up! Serve by itself or on croissants.
