Weight Watchers Chicken Salad

xpnsve's Note:

Perfectly simple! From a recent WW meeting; 4 points per serving.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 lb uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
• 1/3 cup dill pickles or 1/3 cup sweet gherkin, finely diced
• 1/4 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions:

1. Place chicken in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover it; set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes; drain. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. Transfer chicken to a large bowl and add celery, pickles, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper; mix until blended. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
3. For a Waldorf-like chicken salad, stir in 1/3 cup of diced apples and 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts (for a total points value of 5 per serving).

I like to think of myself as a chicken salad connoisseur but I wanted a WW friendly version of this recipe... it is AMAZING!! So light and fresh tasting but tastes exactly like the chicken salad I love. Thank you so much!!
