Creamy chicken salad

Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and cut into cubes)
1 can (14 oz) pineapple chunks (drained, with juice reserved)
1 cup green grapes (halved or whole)
1 cup celery (chopped)
2/3 cup dry salted peanuts (coarsely chopped, optional)
1/4 tsp dried tarragon
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp reserved pineapple juice
Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions

  1. Mix the Main Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cubed cooked chicken, pineapple chunks, green grapes, chopped celery, and chopped peanuts. Gently toss to mix, then stir in the dried tarragon.
  2. Make the Dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and the remaining pineapple juice in a separate medium dish. Add a sprinkle of salt and black pepper to flavor.
  3. Combine the creamy dressing with the fruit and chicken combination. Stir carefully until everything is well covered.
  4. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh parsley if preferred. Refrigerate the salad for a minimum of one hour prior to serving to allow the flavors to mix and ensure it is pleasantly cold.
