Fruity Curry Chicken Salad

this is one of my own recipes that has been tweaked over time to the way I prefer it :)

Ingredients:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 green onions, chopped
1 Gala apple - peeled, cored and diced
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1/3-1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
3/4 cup light mayonnaise

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place chicken in pot with water, and add salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder to taste. Bring to boil and let boil 3 mins. Place cover on top, and turn heat off. Let sit for 15 mins. Check chicken for "doneness", but it should be cooked thoroughly and very tender. Shred or dice chicken.

2.In a large bowl combine the chicken, celery, onion, apple, raisins, grapes, nuts, pepper, curry powder and mayonnaise. Mix all together. Let sit in refridgerator for several hours (I leave mine in overnight, and it's really delicious!).

3. Serve on croissant or honey pita. I eat mine without bread to omit that carb. It's fabulous any way you serve it :)
