Servings: persons

2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 lb skinless boneless chicken breast
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain yogurt
5 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground, black pepper
8 green onions, whites and firm greens sliced
1 1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1/2 cup roasted pecans, coarsely chopped (almonds or cashews may be substituted)

1
Poor chicken broth and 3 cups water into a medium pot. Bring to a simmer. Add chicken and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cover, then let stand until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. (This method ensures the chicken is cooked through but juicy and tender)
2
Transfer chicken to a plate (do not overcrowd or cooking will continue) and cool 10 minutes. When cool to the touch, dice chicken into 1/2-inch pieces.
3
While chicken is cooling, in a large bowl, add light mayo, yogurt, curry, lime juice, honey, ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
4
When chicken is cooled, add chicken, onions, grapes, and nuts. Stir gently to combine.
5
Cover and refrigerate. Flavors are best if refrigerated overnight.
6
Serve slightly chilled as a salad (a scoop atop of Romain lettuce leaf) or a salad sandwich (atop soft multi-grain bread or a thinly halved baguette).
