Ingredients
- 1/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
- 1 medium red apple, diced
- 1 cup red or green grapes, halved
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, divided
Steps
Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice and salt in a large bowl.
Add chicken, apple, grapes, celery, and half of the walnuts. Stir to coat well.
Serve topped with the remaining walnuts.
Quick Tip: If you want cooked chicken in a hurry, the easiest way to cook it is to poach it (one pound of raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts yields about 2 1/2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken).
Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a skillet or saucepan.
Add lightly salted water (or chicken broth) to cover and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle (approximately 10 to 15 minutes).
