Chicken and Broccoli with Creamy Dressing

By JenHall

this was very tasty. Next time - some walnuts would be good & try to use a healthier mayo or alternative. I used the broccoli slaw - very good. I also used a full package of bacon - about 9 slices. This would be just as good with any number of fruits (pineapple or grapes). Also, could leave the chicken out & use as a side salad... Idea - use pineapple & top with coconut chips...

Preparation

Step 1

1. For dressing, in a small bowl, stir together the light mayonnaise dressing or salad dressing and cider vinegar; set aside.

Dietary Exchanges: 1/2 fruit, 2 vegetable, 3 very lean meat, 2 fat.

Test Kitchen Tip: The easiest way to cook chicken for salads is to cover boneless or bone-in chicken breasts with water or broth and simmer on the stove top until cooked through. Boneless breasts also can be broiled about 6 minutes per side.
