VEGGIE PACKED CHEESY CHICKEN SALAD (REDUCED FAT)



Veggie Packed Cheesy Chicken Salad (Reduced Fat) image

I came up with this when I was looking to use up a cooked chicken breast I had in the fridge. I wanted an easy lunch but something healthy and tasty too. I usually eat this with two lightly "buttered" (with low fat margarine) slices of bread but it is also good served on a bed of mixed lettuce leaves. The cooking time includes the chilling time.
