Ingredients

  • 3 or 4 Hawaiian Papayas
  • 6 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 red pepper, chopped
  • 2 scallions, sliced thinly
  • 2 green apples or pears, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground curry
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • (3) 6 oz Pina Colada yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 6 Butter leaf lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Wash the chicken well and pat dry. Season both sides of the chicken with seasoned salt & pepper. Bake for 35 minutes or until cooked through, remove from oven, and cool. Cut the chicken into cubes.
