A GREAT chicken salad! And I was surprised at how absolutely beautifully this comes together. I marinated the chicken overnite, then grilled it. I followed directions and then did chill the salad for a couple of hours. I let sit out a bit so that it was not cold when served--served it over greens. Wonderful! I will surely make this again!

I started this on a day our plans changed so I ended up marinating the chicken overnight. As I was cutting into the papaya I had a rotten fruit, so I ended up subbing mangos. The salad mixture was good, but I felt it was calling for something crunchy after tasting it. I added slivered almonds and chopped celery. I also ended up adding a bit of curry powder to the dressing to provide a spark. I served this on shredded lettuce and with crackers. Since I made so many changes I don't feel it would be fair to rate your recipe. I liked your idea and use of the required ingredients and hope to try your version soon. Good luck in the contest!!!
