Chicken Salad with pomegranate

Serves 4
Preparation 15 min

If using chicken breasts, place in a medium saucepan with the carrot, onion, and celery and bring to a boil over medium heat. Season with salt and simmer until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. • Remove from the heat and let cool. The cooking liquid will male a good chicken stock. Refrigerate or freeze for later use. • Chop the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. • Place the chicken in a large salad bowl with the mixed salad greens. • Beat the oil and lemon juice in a small bowl with a fork. Add the cilantro, parsley, and chives.
