Instructions

Gently mix the chicken, fruits, nuts, onions, dill and vegetables together in a large bowl.
In another bowl, mix together 1 ½ cup of the whipped cream and 1 ½ cup of yogurt. Fold this mixture into the chicken blend and mix well.
Fill each shell carefully, placing them side by side on the serving plate. Sprinkle a small amount of fresh dill on top of each shell and use any leftover dill to garnish your serving plate. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic and refrigerate.

Notes

Note: I sometimes take a cluster of seedless grapes and garnish one side of the serving platter with them.
