Chicken Salad over Lettuce

Chicken salad makes for a great summer lunch!  Serve it over lettuce instead of in sandwich form to save on points.  And this recipe makes enough for 6 servings so you should end up with easy leftovers!

Servings: 6
Serving Size: 3/4 cup scoop of chicken salad
Points Plus: 5pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/2 cup grapes
1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/3 cup craisins
1/3 cup walnuts, diced
1/3 cup mayonaise, light
Romaine lettuce

Directions:
Cook the chicken on the stove until cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.  Shred the chicken with two forks and add to a large bowl.  Wash and chop the celery and onion.  Wash and slice the grapes in half.  Add the grapes, celery, onion, craisins, walnuts and mayo to the bowl and mix until everything is well combined.  Serve a scoop of chicken salad over washed romaine lettuce leaves.
 
Tip:
Instead of just serving the chicken salad over lettuce, you could easily turn these into chicken salad lettuce wraps!
