For the chicken

- 1 tsp salt
- 1 bay leaf
For the dressing
- ½ cup avocado-oil mayonnaise
- 1 ½ tsp curry powder
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated

- ⅓ cup red grapes, halved

Instructions
- 1
Place the chicken breasts in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 tsp salt and the bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 14–16 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 10–15 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Discard the bay leaf and poaching liquid. Chop or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
