We had our allergy testing done for Miley. along with a ton of enviromental allergies, she does have a few food also. I'm looking to find a grain free, chicken free dry food. Seems most grain free I find have chicken. Can someone help me? I have been on the net searching for a while and coming up short!

eta: Do you have a Petco near you? I believe they sell Natural Balance there. It's not top-shelf but it is a good food.
Are you a Costco member? They have a salmon & sweet potato grain free food that is a really good deal!

We feed Honest Kitchen (along with Fresh Pet) which is a raw dehydrated food that you mix with water. They have a beef or turkey product that is grain free and might be a good option. You can order on amazon and get free shipping.

Do you have a Chuck and Dons near you? I have a Shar Pei and he is allergic to certin foods, we haven't had him tested yet. But we get our food from there and the staff is so helpful there.
We feed TOTW Pacific Stream but obviously that won't work for you. Fish is pretty much the only protein source we can feed (besides rabbit and kangaroo but those aren't as readily available in dry foods). I would suggest either TOTW Bison or the TOTW Lamb. I REALLY like TOTW because they make a great product and keep the prices down.
Just this week I was at our local pet food store because our foster is having some issues and was about to buy Orijen before I realized it is literally double the price of TOTW. A 30lb bag of TOTW is about $40 compared to $91 for Orijen. I really like Orijen, but it solidified my love for TOTW. I also really like EVO and before we knew what our girl's allergies were we had her on EVO -Red Meat for awhile.
For treats we like Zuke's and Fruitables. Both are available at Chuck and Dons and online.
Good luck! It will be some work at first to find a food that both you and her are comfortable with but once you do you'll realize it is all worth it. Keep asking questions if you have more!
