This is yet another recipe that comes from Paula Deen. It can be a main dish for lunch or dinner, or used as an appetizer. Either way, it's worth a try, despite the fact that it contains mayonnaise, and mayonnaise repulses me.

Chicken Broccoli Salad:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups water
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups broccoli florets
1 red onion, diced
1 cup crushed peanuts
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. orange marmalade


In a large skillet, place the chicken in a single layer. Pour the water and soy sauce over it and sprinkle with garlic. Cover, and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the pan and allow chicken to cool for 20 minutes. Chop chicken into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine chicken, broccoli, onion, peanuts, and cranberries.

In a small bowl, whisk together the marmalade and mayonnaise. Pour over the chicken mixture. Toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
