Chicken and Apple Salad

This recipe is taken from the Gathering of Friends cookbook. I have not yet tried it, but the ingredients and the Honey-Lime dressing sound delicious. The only change was the poaching liquid for the chicken. The recipe did not specify how to prepare the chicken; however, I have used this method before for another chicken salad recipe and it tastes great.
