Creamy Chicken Salad with Fruits and Nuts

Ingredients

2 quart Water
3 tsp. Caper liquid
16 ounces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 Tbsp. Reduced fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 Large stalk Celery, raw (diced)
1/4 cup Pecans (chopped)
1 large Apples (cut into 1/4 inch dice)
1 ounces (60 raisins) Raisins
1/4 small White onions (thinly sliced)

Instructions

Place the water and 1 tablespoon of the vinegar in a large skillet over heat.

When the water is almost boiling adjust the heat so that the water is simmering and add the chicken breast.

Poach the chicken for about 12 to 15 minutes until the temperature is 160°F.

Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes and then chill in the refrigerator.

While the chicken is cooling place the mayonnaise, yogurt and mustard in a mixing bowl and set in the refrigerator to chill.

When the chicken is cold cut into 1/4 inch pieces.

Add the chicken to the bowl with the dressing.

Add the celery, pecans, raisins, apple, and onion.

Fold together gently and serve.
