1 cup grapes, halved

½ cup celery, diced

4 ounces almond slices

Salt, pepper and a dash of sugar to taste

Place raw chicken in the crockpot and cover with the chicken broth. Cook on high for 4 hours. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred using two forks. Discard the liquid (or cool and freeze it for use as a soup base later).

In a separate bowl, combine the mayo, mustard and dill. Add the chicken, celery and almonds. Season to taste.

Refrigerate until cool. Serve cold with whole-wheat crackers or whole-grain bread.
