Ingredients
- 3 four-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoon lemon pepper
- 1/4 cup plus two tablespoons water
- 3/4 cup green seedless grapes, halved lengthwise
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced cashews

- 1/2 cup nonfat mayonnaise
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro, basil, or dill (optional)

Directions
- Season the chicken with the lemon pepper. Place in a sauté pan with the water over medium heat. Cover with a lid and poach until done, for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Chop into 1-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the grapes, celery, cashews, red onion, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir in fresh herbs of your choice, if using.
- Place 1 or 2 red leaf lettuce leaves in a serving bowl or on a plate. Place 1 cup of chicken salad along the center of the leaf. Gently fold around the chicken salad mixture and enjoy.
