CHICKEN AND SNOW PEAShttp://generositiesoftheheart.blogspot.com







4 ounces fresh snow peas, rinsed and trimmed (can use broccoli instead for lower carbs)

1 pound cooked, cubed chicken breast fillets

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup thinly sliced water chestnuts

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt(buy the Dannon Natural Plain yogurt and add 1 tsp vanilla extract)

1 tsp. grated ginger

1 tsp. grated lime rind

1/4 tsp. salt

dash of white pepper.

Tip:  I add 1 packet of splenda to the dressing if you want a little sweetness(since the yogurt is sugar free)

Blot the  snow peas dry on paper towels. Set aside

In a bowl, combine chicken, snow peas,  onion and water chestnuts. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour over chicken and vegetables an mix gently with rubber spatula.  Cover and refrigerate several hours to allow flavors to blend.

Serves 6; 8 carbs
