How to Make Chicken Salad with Eggs

Prep. Preheat the oven to 415°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roast the chicken. Rub the chicken with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Arrange it in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the largest piece reaches 165°F.
Rest and chop. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before chopping it into cubes.
Make the dressing. Whisk together the mayo, sour cream, Dijon, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
Assemble. Combine the chicken, eggs, celery, grapes, onion, dill, parsley, and almonds in a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat all of the ingredients thoroughly.
Chill. Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Serve. Serve cold between two slices of your favorite bread or in lettuce wraps.
