MANDARIN CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• I recommend baked chicken for the salad. Heat oven to 350 degrees - sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then after it's cooled a bit, chop chicken and sprinkle with olive oil (if I have chicken with skin, I skip the oil). Bake until done then after it's cooled a bit, chop chicken.
• After you have cooked the chicken, combine the first 5 ingredients; stir well. Cover and chill.
• Add mayonnaise, grapes, oranges, and almonds to chicken mixture; toss well. Serve on lettuce. Garnish with additional orange slices and grape clusters, if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

• Mix curry powder, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup water into the skillet with the chicken. Reduce heat, and simmer about 5 minutes. Stir in the orange zest. Continue cooking until most of the water has been reduced. Mix in the rice to serve.
