Substitute one cup of halved seedless grapes for the mandarian orange segments.

Prepare the filling up to a day ahead and refrigerate it. Add the almonds and lettuce just before serving time to prevent them from getting soggy.

One of my favorite lunch recipes since it first appeared in a Pillsbury Classic Chicken cookbook in 1992! Here are the changes I make. I double the amount of chicken, use mango instead of Mandarin oranges, and often use cut-up snap peas instead of celery (or as an added ingredient). I also lighten the recipe by using half plain nonfat Greek yogurt and half mayo. Lately I started using high fiber, low carb wraps instead of pita pockets. When I use wraps, I add a romaine leaf. Yum!
