• 1 cup green grapes
  
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
  
• 1/2 can mandarin oranges
  
• 1/4 cup cashews or slivered almonds
  
• 1 small box of macaroni rings
  
• 1 cup mayonnaise

• 1/2 Tbsp minced onion
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/8 cup lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp mustard
  






Instructions



1. Bake the chicken as you normally would and cut up into bite sized pieces.
   
2. Cook the macaroni rings according to package, using half or the whole box.
   
3. Combine the mayo, mustard and Cool Whip in another bowl.

Final Comments


It's not totally necessary to marinate the chicken, but it gives the chicken a better taste.
