I use Chef Meg's recipe for poached chicken for the chicken in this recipe: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2147037
To toast the walnuts, toss them in a non-stick saute pan over medium-low heat until fragrant. They can burn easily, so take care and shake the pan frequently!
Directions
Mix all ingredients together and serve on a bed of mixed salad greens or in half a pita pocket.
Toss in a bit of curry, dill or other seasonings of your choice to change up the flavor profile!
Makes approximately 5, 1/2-cup servings.
