- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mango chutney

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mango chutney, and curry powder. Stir until well mixed.
Add the chopped chicken, celery, red onion, red grapes, sliced almonds, and cilantro into the bowl with the yogurt mixture.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and stir until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve on a bed of greens, with whole grain bread, or wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla for a heart-healthy meal.
