"Found this recipe on drgourmet.com and it looked really good. Haven't made it yet though. Cooking time also includes chilling time. And is best left in fridge overnight."

ingredients

4 cups water
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 large celery ribs (diced)
1 large mango (peeled and diced)
¹⁄₂ cup red bell pepper (diced)
¹⁄₄ cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons fresh dill
¹⁄₂ cup low-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons orange juice
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

directions

Place the water in a large skillet over medium heat. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat until the water is at a shiver.
Gently add the chicken breasts and poach for about 10 - 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the breasts. It's best to use a instant thermometer and remove the breasts just as they reach 160°F.
Let the chicken rest for about 5 - 10 minutes. When they are cool, cut them into 1/2 inch cubes. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the fridge and add the diced celery, mango, red bell pepper, almonds, mayonnaise, dill, orange juice, salt and pepper. Fold the salad together gently and chill for another 15 minutes (or overnight). Serve.
