Curry Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups

-->

These are low fat and delicious! You can serve them in a croissant, tortilla, or lettuce--my favorite!

Ingredients:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and diced

3 heads Boston Bibb Lettuce

Freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 tbs. peach chutney or marmalade jam

3 tsp. curry powder

1 stalk celery, diced

1 tsp. lemon juice

3 green onions (scallions), chopped

1/2 cup green or red grapes, halved

1 cup nuts (pine nuts or sliced almonds)

½ can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped into small pieces

Directions:

In a large bowl, toss the chicken, celery, grapes, onions, nuts and water chestnuts.

In a separate bowl combine the mayo, yogurt, curry powder, chutney, and lemon juice. Stir dressing into chicken mixture.  Season with fresh ground pepper. Make more dressing if you want it saucier!

Wash lettuce and peel apart leaves, leaving them on paper towels to drain.  Fill each separate cup with a large spoonful of the chicken salad.

*Fun Facts
Boston Bibb is a butterhead lettuce that great for lettuce cups, however you may use other kinds of lettuce.  Keep in mind, the greener the lettuce, the greater the vitamins and minerals is provides.
