19/365 it might just be a What's for Dinner Week

a whole lot of crazy curry chicken deliciousness

yep, that's really what I am calling

dinner on Day 3 of Operation Healthy Family.

I may have been pushing my luck yesterday with the whole wheat pasta

and spinach snuck into their Mac and Cheese but

today it was a love fest all around.

this recipe will be in our regular line up for a long time to come

ingredients:

chicken broth (2 cups)*water (2 cups) * boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 1/2 pnds, approx 6 small ones) *reduced fat mayo (1/2 cup) * non-fat plain yogurt (1/2 cup) * mango chutney (1/2 cup) * curry powder (approx. 2-3 tsp) * granny smith apple/cored and chopped (1) * raisins (1/4 cup) * silvered almonds (1/4 cup)

BOIL broth and water in a large shallow pan

ADD chicken and reduce heat to LOW

SIMMER (partially covered) until the chicken is no longer pink (approx 15 minutes)

PUT cooked chicken in a shallow pan (I used a 9x13 glass pan) pour cooking liquid over the top.

REFRIGERATE until chilled (at least 1 hour, but I left it overnight)

AFTER it is chilled, REMOVE from liquid & DICE (throw out the liquid)

MEANWHILE,

STIR mayo, yogurt, mango chutney & curry powder in a medium bowl until blended.

I made this the night before as well and covered it.

OK, now we are FINALLY ready to put this yumminess all together.

MIX chicken, dressing, raisins, almonds & apples together

STUFF into whole wheat pita - we served with spinach and alfalfa sprouts.

~ my Sobey's apparently is not very "worldly" and they (2 young teens) had no idea what chutney was "umm, well...umm Mangoes are in the fruit section" yes I realize that but I am looking for mango chutney? "uhh yeah, I am not sure what that is" so someone else says she will go find it... she brought me back mango jam, she says "uh sorry I could only find jam, not the jelly" I started to say again that I was actually looking for Chutney but decided I would just make it work with the mango jam.
