1 1/2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken or turkey breast or 2 cans (6 ounces each) chicken or turkey breast, drained
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions

DRESSING
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons nonfat or light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons mango chutney
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (optional)

2. To make the dressing, place the mayonnaise, chutney, and if desired, the curry powder in a small bowl, and stir to mix well. Add the dressing to the chicken mixture and toss to mix. Add a little more mayonnaise if the mixture seems too dry.

3. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Use as a filling for celery sticks, endive leaves, or finger sandwiches.
