Grandma Colleen's Best Ever Chicken Salad

I love this recipe, and have made it time and time again.

Grandma Colleen's Best Ever Chicken Salad

1 (8 oz.) pkg cream cheese, softened
2-4 TBSP. milk
1 1/2 cups cooked and chopped chicken
1/4 tsp. salt
several dashes curry powder
dash ground black pepper
2 TBSP. finely grated onion
1/2 cup chopped almonds

In a food processor or blender, combine the cream cheese and 2 TBSP. milk until well mixed. Then add the chicken, scraping the sides to make sure it mixes well. Add the salt, curry powder, pepper and onion, and blend again to mix well. If you feel the chicken mixture is too dry you may add more milk, 1 TBSP. at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Place chicken mixture into a bowl and mix the almonds in by hand. Make sure they evenly distributed throughout. Chill until ready to serve. *note*-only use regular cream cheese, do not use the light or fat free since they tend to break down causing your salad to become a liquid mess.
