Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high heat and adding the coconut oil.

Place the chicken in the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth to create the dressing.

Step 6

Add the diced chicken, celery, grapes, almonds, green onions, and dill to the bowl with the dressing. Mix well to coat all ingredients.
