    Recipe Introduction



    Accompany this fruity chicken salad with thin wedges of cantaloupe and honeydew melon and whole strawberries - and don't forget a basket of muffins.

    List of Ingredients





    Chicken

    2 cups chicken broth (one 14 ½-ounce can)
    Water, as necessary
    1 carrot, sliced
    ¼ cup sliced onion
    2 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
    1 bay leaf
    16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

    Mango Chutney Dressing

    3 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons mango chutney (see Tip)
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
    1 teaspoon lemon or lime zest
    ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste

    To complete the recipe

    ½ cup halved seedless green or red grapes (about 3 ounces)
    2 scallions, chopped
    8 leaves romaine lettuce
    Garnish: wedges of cantaloupe and honeydew melon, strawberries, toasted sliced almonds

    Recipe



    Pour the chicken broth into a medium sauté pan; add enough water so that the liquid is about 1 ½ inches deep (when it is added, the chicken should be covered by about ½ inch water). Add the carrot, onion, parsley, and bay leaf. Bring the liquid a boil over high heat. Add the chicken; reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is just cooked through.

    With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the sauté pan. Cut it into 1-inch squares and place on a plate to cool. (Discard the carrot, onion, parsley, bay leaf, and poaching liquid.)

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the Mango Chutney Dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Add the grapes, scallions, and chicken; stir until the dressing is evenly distributed.

    To assemble the servings, line 4 plates with romaine lettuce leaves. Top each with a mound of chicken salad.
