Vermouth Chicken Salad

My mother and I created this recipe and we get many compliments at dinner parties. A chef who owns a 4-star restaurant sampled it at an event my mother attended and raved about it. Needless to say, we were happy with his approval. Whoo-Hoo! Mom likes to garnish this with avocado slices. Adjust seasonings to your own tastes.
