Millenni-YUM - Great New Recipes using Manitoba Foods

1 lb	(500 g)	whole skinless boneless chicken breasts
1		bay leaf
1 cup	(250 g)	asparagus, ends trimmed
2		mangoes, peeled and sliced
2 tbsp	(25 mL)	chopped pecans
		lettuce for garnish

Mango Chutney Dressing
3 tbsp	(45 mL)	mango chutney

To prepare dressing: Mix the chutney, Canola oil, vinegar and soy sauce in a small bowl. Place chicken breasts in a large skillet. Pour enough water to almost cover, add bay leaf. Cover. Simmer over medium-low heat until cooked, about 30 minutes. Drain. Cool. Wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes or until cold. Steam asparagus until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Cool in a colander under cold running water. Drain well. Cut asparagus on the diagonal at 4-cm intervals. Slice chicken into 5 mm thick slices. On a lettuce-lined serving plate, arrange chicken slices. Drizzle dressing over salad and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Makes 4 servings. Canola Information Services www.canola-council.org
