6 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise 1 tablespoon curry powder 2 cups cooked, cubed chicken breast 1 ripe but firm pear, diced 2 stalk celery, finely diced 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted
Preparation
1. Combine yogurt, mayonnaise and curry powder in a large bowl. Add chicken, pear, celery, cranberries and almonds; toss to combine.

Add lightly salted water (or chicken broth) to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
* To toast sliced or slivered almonds: Place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
