2 cans mandarin oranges -- (11-oz) drained and halved

Simmer chicken in water with celery tops, onion, salt, and peppercorns. Remove and cool. Cut into bite-size pieces. Should have about 3 cups.
Combine chicken with first 4 ingredients.
Stir together dressing ingredients. Toss mixtures together lightly. Chill.
Stir almonds in before serving.
Serve in a pretty bowl or in round slices of honeydew melon or in fresh pineapple boats.
Notes : The recipe I based this on called for 1 cup mayo. and 1/2 cup sour cream. I thought this was too much dressing.
