This dish is a healthy and delicious take on chicken salad, filling you up, not out! Leftover chicken is tossed with fresh veggies then served over a bed of rice and salad greens.
If you find yourself wondering what to do with leftover chicken, I a fix for that. Here is something a bit different; though figure friendly and of course tasty.
In place of mayo, I opted for a light Asian-style dressing fresh with ginger root and all natural apricot preserves. This certainly was a tasty and satisfying meal and without any guilt or regrets.

On another note, my dear friend Louise is hosting her final week of Cookbook Wednesday.
I am sharing the NYT Cookbook by Craig Claiborne. I had this book when I was younger and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had been looking for it for a while, and leave it to daughter to find me this copy online. I was thrilled to have this book again. The first thing I made from it was the Apple Tart, which received rave reviews from the family.
I look forward to sharing it with you all soon. Tammy will be sharing her Cookbook in a post later this week.
There is still plenty of time to link up your favorite cookbook! The linkup will remain open for the next five days!
