Ingredients

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 dried bay leaves
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 8 oz can crushed pineapple in 100% juice, juice reserved
1 10.5 oz no-sugar-added mandarin oranges, drained
2 stalks celery, diced (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
10 Boston Bib lettuce leaves
1/4 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground ginger

Instructions

In a medium stock pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the bay leaves and chicken and simmer covered for 15 minutes, flipping over at the halfway mark. The internal temperature should read 165ºF.
Discard the bay leaves and reserve the chicken on a plate until cool enough to touch, then shred and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, pineapple, mandarin oranges, celery, carrots, almonds, green onions, salt, and pepper. Add in the set-aside dressing, and toss with tongs to evenly combine.
To serve, place ½ cup chicken salad in each lettuce leaf.
