     This recipe will make 2 portions!
     Season 1 whole chicken with sea salt and black pepper.
     Place the chicken on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
     Roast the chicken in a 325 degree oven, till it is fully cooked. 

     Allow the roasted chicken cool to room temperature. 

     Remove all of the white breast meat from the chicken.  (Only the breast meat is needed for this recipe.  The leg and back meat can be used to make roasted chicken stock pot or it can be saved for another recipe.)

     This is a very tasting chicken salad!  It is so light tasting from the sliced grapes and sour cream.  The sliced almonds add crunch and a wonderful flavor.  The dill weed gives this salad a nice garden herb flavor.  This chicken salad is so much better tasting than standard chicken salad recipes.  This recipe is a must try!  Yum!  ...  Shawna
