Chicken Salad w. Strawberries and Feta

It's Friday!!!  Here is a wonderful example of a food I saw, and immediately had to make. One of my absolute favorite weekend activities is watching The Pioneer Women on Saturday mornings at 9am. She whipped this up a few weeks ago and I just loved the combination of sweet corn and strawberries with the salty chicken and sauce.  And come on, I never even considered putting strawberries into a fruit salad! This is a perfect summer, weekend lunch ya'all!

Servings: 4
Serving Size: 1 cup
Points Plus: 7pp
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
Salad
3 chicken breasts, boneless and skins removed
Kosher salt + pepper
Cooking spray
1 cup fresh corn (or frozen)
3 T fresh dill, minced
3 stalks celery, finely diced
1 red onion, finely diced
1 1/2 cup strawberries

Dressing
3/4 cup crumbled feta
2 T skim milk
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup light sour cream
1 t sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt + pepper

To serve
Use leaves of butter lettuce, sliced romaine, spinach (as I did), kale or whatever lettuce you like!

Directions
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat up your grill pan (or use your outdoor grill) and lightly mist it with cooking spray. Grill your chicken about 7 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove chicken from your grill pan and let it cool.  When it is cooled, cut it into small chunks (I hate that word).

Mix together chicken and remaining ingredients under 'salad' above. In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients under 'dressing' above. Mix together salad + dressing ingredients.  Serve on top of lettuce for a light summer meal.

Tip
On the show Ree used strawberries, which I loved and though were a unique flavor.  You could also use blueberries or grapes!
