Kosher Curry Chicken Salad

I know it's not terribly creative, but I like a nice, sweet curried chicken salad. I wanted to make one that would fit into my new Weight Watchers diet. If you're having trouble getting in all your fruits and veggies, one serving of this is a much better choice than a Lean Cuisine microwavable lunch.
  • 12 oz chicken (2 small kosher breast halves)
  • 1 medium apple, diced (granny smith works best)
  • 1 1/2 cups red or green grapes, sliced in half
  • 4 tbsp parve fat free mayo substitute
  • 2 tbsp canned crushed pineapple
  • 2 tbsp medium heat curry powder

Coat the chicken with half the curry powder and cook in a George Foreman grill (or other fat-free cooking method). When the chicken cools, shread it into the smallest pieces you have the patience for. If you prefer to use precooked chicken, cut the curry powder down to 1.5 tbsp.

Combine all ingredients in a single bowl until well mixed. Chill and serve cold either on whole wheat bread or a bed of lettuce. Yes, it's that easy.

Points estimate for entire dish: Chicken, 12; Fat Free Mayo, 4; Grapes, 2; Apple, 1; Pineapple, 1; spices, 0. Total points per serving: 5 (meal sized serving), 3 (sandwich sized serving).
