Cha-Cha Chicken Salad

GREAT! Try some orange or tangerine zest in the cranbarries sprinkled with som of the juice or soaked..gives that great orange hint..and you can control the orange flavor!! Fresh herbs using just thyme and a little Rosemary works great.(.even a touch of ground sage). PARSLEY! Will always give a fresh herb taste without altering the other flavors..since it was asked..also other molds work great..small individ..for smaller group seated lunch!but GREAT RECIPE

Made this for a luncheon at work served with pita chips, it was a huge hit! I could not find orange cranberries so I used regular dried cranberries and added 2 tsp of dried grated orange rind. I used 1/3 fat free cream cheese and low fat Duke's mayo. The only other thing I did differently than directed was to mound the chicken salad in bowl, leaving room to put the crushed almonds around the sides, then pressed out the mound to create the coating before it was unmolded. It turned out beautiful and delicious. Will definitely make again.

Absolutely delicious and so pretty!! Had to substitute Pomegranate Cranberries and next time will add a few green onions...but delicious as is!

Sounds so great. I have just one question. Do you drain the crushed pinneapple or put in the whole can with the juice? Thanks.

Made it last night. I used the blueberry-flavored cranberries and it added a unique flavor. I used 1/2 the cream cheese and light mayo. I used regular, sliced almonds (without toasting) and it was crunchy and good.
