In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

Add 2 cups of diced celery and mix well.

Add 2 small diced onions and mix again.

Add 2 cups of mayonnaise and about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, adjusting to taste, and mix thoroughly.

Add seedless grapes to the mixture, using as many as desired, and stir to combine.
