This recipe appeared in the New York Times approx. 30 years ago. I make it several times a summer. In the hot weather I keep cooked chicken breasts in the refrigerator, which I use for chicken salad when it is too hot to cook.
This is our favourite summer dinner salad. I usually use a 1:1 ratio of chicken to celery, season with curry powder or cumin, and serve over a heap of crispy lettuce. It is just as good without the grapes.
