Creole Chicken Salad Recipe

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium tomato puree
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • Hot pepper sauce, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  1. In a shallow glass baking dish, combine the tomato puree, water, garlic, paprika, soy sauce, hot-pepper sauce, and black pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for at least 1 hour.
  2. Broil the chicken, 4 inches (10 cm) from the heat, until no pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Let it cool and cut it into bite-size pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, celery, onion, red pepper, rice, yogurt, and mayonnaise. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
