Rosemary Chicken and Potato Salad

Clean Eating Magazine

 Here is the recipe as seen in the magazine. I'll add my changes in parentheses. This turned out pretty tasty. It is a light but filling chicken salad. Easy to make and would be good for a picnic. I cant say that I would rave about it, but I would make it again.

 INGREDIENTS:
2 small red potatoes, scrubbed well
2 small Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed well (I didn't have these so I used all redskin.)
1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 medium Empire apple, unpeeled and diced (about 3/4 cup)
1/3 cup chopped celery (omitted as I forgot to buy it)
1/2 cup cooked white beans
1 tsp dried rosemary or 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
1/8 tsp ground black pepper Sea salt, to taste

 VINAIGRETTE:
 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 1/2 lemons)
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
 2 tsp stevia powder (I used organic cane sugar because I don't like stevia. I sweetened to taste but kept it tart.)

 INSTRUCTIONS:
 Cut up potatoes into bite size pieces and boil until fork tender. About 20 minutes.   In a separate medium saucepan, add chicken and cover completely in water. Set over medium-high heat and poach chicken for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in center. Drain and let cool before cutting chicken into bite-size pieces.

In a large bowl, add potatoes, chicken, onion, apple, celery, beans, rosemary, pepper and salt.

Prepare vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oil and stevia. Pour vinaigrette over potato-chicken mixture and stir gently to coat.

My Notes:

The picture is rather bland.  There are food sites that have glorious pictures of food. You won't find that here. I used canned white beans and rinsed them really well to remove sodium. I decided that canned beans will have to suffice because I don't have the time (or the inclination) to soak and cook dried beans. I'm not going to be a fanatic. Next time I would make sure to add celery. The extra crunch would be nice.

Update: This is even better the next day!
