Caribbean Chicken Salad Recimeal

"ReciMeals are designed to be complete meals that need only be accompanied by a beverage, and sometimes a side salad or slice of bread. A ReciMeal provides significant amounts of at least three of the five MyPyramid food groups: about 1/2 cup of fruits, 1/2 cup of vegetables, 1 ounce equivalent of grain foods, 2 ounces or the equivalent of lean meat or beans or 1 cup or the equivalent of milk per recipe serving. This exotic pairing of tropical fruit and chicken takes no more skill, time or effort than putting together a typical chicken salad – made easy with protein-rich, white-meat chicken. Serving it in a papaya half delivers more fruit to your day’s food choices."
