Ingredients
- 7 oz poached chicken breast
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium apple, peeled and cut into small cubes
- 1 cups red seedless grapes, cut in half

- 1/4 cups light hellman's mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp 0% greek yogurt
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp pecans or walnuts
- 6 cups mixed baby greens like spinach and arugula

- Remove from heat, cover tightly and let the chicken sit for 15‑20 minutes, or until the thickest part reaches 160 °F.
- Drain, let the chicken cool, and cut into small cubes.
- In a bowl, combine the light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper; mix well to form the dressing.
- Add the poached chicken cubes, grapes, apple cubes, and chopped celery to the dressing and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, stir in the pecans (or walnuts) and serve the mixture over the mixed baby greens.
