"Chutney is marvelous. I'm mad about it. To me, it's very imperial." -Diana Vreeland, Editor, "Vogue" Magazine
There are hundreds of ways to make chicken salad (or shrimp or tuna or etc.). Don’t be timid. Mixing strong flavors, such as chutney, curry and raisins, makes for a rich taste while using less fat and calories.

4 cups | water |
4 ounce | boneless skinless chicken breast |
1 tsp | curry powder |
1 Tbsp | reduced-fat mayonnaise |
1 Tbsp | slivered almonds |
2 Tbsp | non-fat sour cream |
1/8 tsp | cinnamon |
1 Tbsp | chutney |
2 Tbsp | golden raisins |
2 Tbsp | green onions (chopped) |
1/4 cup | celery (diced) |
1 Tbsp | red bell pepper (diced) |
Place water in a shallow pan over high heat. When the liquid is at a shiver, reduce the heat to medium so that it won't boil. Add the chicken breasts and poach until just done. This should take about 10 minutes; check for an internal temperature of 170° to ensure the chicken is cooked.
When the chicken is cooked, remove it to a cutting board and let it cool for about 15 minutes; then put it in the refrigerator to chill.
When chilled, cube the chicken breasts and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add all the other ingredients and fold together until well coated.
Chill for at least an hour before serving.
