Lemon-Basil Chicken Salad

From the queen of southern cooking, Paula Deen, comes this wonderful chicken salad (with some very minor additions.) Bright and tangy flavors set this recipe apart from the other 10 million or so chicken salad recipes out there in the great cyber-kitchen. Delicious.

~4 cups	cubed or shredded cooked chicken
1 rib	celery, finely diced
1 tablespoon	very finely chopped chives
¼ cup	fresh basil chiffonade
¼ cup	slivered almonds
½ cup	sour cream
½ cup	mayonnaise
1 tablespoon	white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon	lemon zest
S&P to taste

In a medium bowl combine chicken, celery, basil and almonds. In a small bowl combine sour cream, mayonnaise, zest and salt and pepper. Add to chicken mixture and fold to combine. Chilling in the fridge before serving allows the flavors to come together.
