Roast Chicken Pasta And Grape Salad

---

This recipe is a family favorite. It is based on one from my grandparents and was introduced to me by my dad, who really enjoyed it growing up. Originally a tradition to use the leftover turkey from thanksgiving, i've always had it with chicken and can't get enough. This is one recipe that can be easily adjusted, so don't worry if you don't have the exact amounts called for!!
