DILLED CHICKEN SALAD ON GREENS

- 1-1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Dilled Mayonnaise:

- 2 cups chopped watercress, tough stems removed
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Rest of ingredients:

- 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
- 9 cups torn mixed salad greens
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped

Directions

Place chicken in a medium saucepan and pour in just
enough water to cover it. Bring just to a boil, reduce
heat to low and poach chicken until white and firm
throughout, about 15 minutes. Remove from pot and cool.

To make dilled mayonnaise, combine watercress, garlic,
onion, salt, lemon juice, dill, and olive oil in a food
processor and process until finely chopped. Transfer to
a medium bowl and stir in mayonnaise and yogurt.

Cut cooled chicken into bite-sized chunks and add
to mayonnaise, along with bell pepper. Toss to mix well.

When you are ready to serve, arrange greens on plates.
Top with chicken salad. Garnish with tomatoes and serve.

All the greens make this recipe extra special. When the dilled mayo is brought into play we have a salad worthy of any dinner table.
