Ingredients
- 2 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves, (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1/4 cup non-fat yogurt
- 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Madras-style curry powder
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 3 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1/4 fresh pineapple, diced (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1 bunch watercress, stems trimmed
- 4 slices wheat bread or 2 whole wheat English muffins, toasted
Directions
Put the chicken in a saucepan along with the water and salt. Bring just to a boil then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook, covered, just the chicken is just firm, about 15 minutes. Set chicken aside off the heat, to cool and finish cooking in the liquid. When cool, pull apart by hand into shredded bite-size pieces.
Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, curry, grated ginger and parsley in a bowl. Add chicken, almonds, and pineapple, and fold to coat evenly. Make open faced sandwiches with the salad and watercress on the bread or muffins. Serve.

Very easy - and very tasty! I used golden raisins instead of pineapple. I also put in some chopped celery. Did not have the watercress, I just put the chicken salad on toasted whole grain bread. DELICIOUS and it looked nice too!

Way to much parsley, it overpowers the whole dish. Maybe good with a lot less

I have been feasting on this for a few days. I mix skipped the bread altogether and just put it on top of a pile of spinach leaves. I like things spicy so I added some extra curry. The pineapple was undetectable so I would recommend maybe raisins instead. Also, I needed more crunch so I threw in some chopped celery too. It was fantastic!
