1/4cupshelled pistachio nuts or slivered almondsor use coarsely chopped pecans (optional)
12sliceswhole wheat bread or rolls (use wheat/gluten-free bread, if needed)(optional)
1head lettuce(optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken in a large heavy skillet with a lid and add just enough water to cover it.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and poach the chicken (steam it on a low boil) for 7 - 10 minutes, until it is just cooked through (check by cutting into the thickest piece of chicken to make sure it is no longer pink).
Rinse the chicken under cold water until it is cool. Dice the chicken into 1/2-inch pieces.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chutney or jam, and curry powder.
Stir in the chicken, celery, grapes, and nuts (optional). Serve it immediately on the bread and/or over greens, if desired, or refigerate it for up to 48 hours.
