Fruity Curried Chicken Salad

I love chicken salad as much as the next person, but it's just downright bad for you. All that chicken swimming in mayo makes my cholesterol shiver in its little saturated fat booties. So, I wanted to make a healthy chicken salad with flavor out the wazoo (its a technical culinary term). Here it be:

Fruity Curried Chicken Salad

1 large boneless chicken breast, chopped into 1 inch x 1 inch pieces

8 cups water

1 chicken boullion cube

2 Tbsp. madras curry powder

1 Tbsp. olive oil mayo

1/2 cup - 3/4 cup fat free greek yogurt (I used Fage brand)

1 cup green grapes

1 ripe mango

1/2 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped

1 tsp. allspice

1.5 - 2 Tbsp. madras curry powder

salt and pepper to taste

Bring the water to a boil in a large sauce pot. Add the chicken bouillon cube and the curry powder. Wait until the cube has dissolved in the water and add the chicken. Boil the chicken for 5-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the water and set aside to cool. While the chicken is cooling, slice the grapes in half and dice the mango. Put the chicken into a large mixing bowl and add the mayo and yogurt. Stir until all of the chicken is coated. Next, add the rest of the ingredients. Mix until it looks like the curry powder is evenly distributed. And there you have it!

I spread mine on homemade bread and ate it for lunch - delish! Enjoy!
