Curried Chicken Salad - Skinny

This is absolutely one of my favorite summer sandwiches. Its so delicious and nutritious. Its great served on whole wheat bread with lettuce. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast chunks, no more than 3/4-inch thick
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 cup halved grapes (craisins are a great substitute)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Bring the broth and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add chicken to broth and simmer, covered, for 8 minutes. Turn the heat off and let chicken stand in the cooking liquid, covered, until cooked through, about 20 minutes (if chicken is not fully cooked bring to a boil again and cook thoroughly)
  • Remove the chicken from the broth and cool completely in the refrigerator. Cut into 1/4-inch dice.
  • Toast the almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and beginning to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt and curry powder.
  • Fold in the chicken, grapes and cilantro, almonds and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
