In a large bowl, combine 3 cups diced cooked chicken breast, ½ cup chopped celery, 1 cup red grapes, ½ cup slivered almonds, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley.
Add ¾ cup mayonnaise and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, add ⅓ cup heavy cream. Mix using an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.

Notes

Make Ahead & Storage Instructions

Make-Ahead: This recipe is best served right away, but if you need to prep ahead, here's how. Prepare the chicken salad, but leave out the whipped cream. Cover it tightly, and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, whip the cream, then fold it in and enjoy!
Leftovers: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezer: I don't recommend freezing chicken salad!
