•1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
•2/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
•1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preparation 1.Preheat oven to 450°F. 2.Arrange chicken in a glass baking dish large enough to hold it in a single layer. Pour broth around the chicken.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board until cool enough to handle, then cut into cubes. (Discard broth or save for another use.) 3.Meanwhile, spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly golden and fragrant, about 6 minutes. Let cool. 4.Stir sour cream, mayonnaise, tarragon, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add celery, grapes, the chicken and walnuts; stir to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
