This is a very tasty non-mayo-based chicken salad. I only had 2 chicken breasts and I'm glad because I think the marinade wouldn't have gone far enough for 3. I put in 1 cup grapes instead of 3/4 cup. I used dried thyme so I only used 1 tsp. Used 1/2 tsp. dried coriander instead of cumin and 1/2 tsp fresh basil. Kept dill and all else the same. Delicious!

There are a lot of things I love about life, my family, my faith in God, my church family, my friends. I also enjoy so many hobbies. Working as a nurse means I work 3, 12 hour shifts a week and have 4 days off! Which gives me a lot of time to do the things I love like cooking, scrapbooking, photography and just recently herb/flower gardening!
My family includes my adorable and amazing husband and my 13 year old step-son (who proves to be a challange to this new mom but we love him soo!!!)
The newest love of my life is the beautiful little husky sitting on my lap in this picture. She is 5 months old and an absolute joy to our life!
I also just started a new cooking blog called 'Make it homemade.' I believe we can all save a lot of money, if we use our skills to make frequently store-bought items at home in our own kitchens! Besides, homemade just taste better! Check out the link below!
