Cilantro Chicken Salad image

This is my twist on a recipe I found for the traditional chicken salad but without the mayo! It's best served in a wrap with lettuce and tomato or over your favorite green salad. I have found it's also very easy to make even lighter by using fat-free broth, lite soy sauce, and sugar substitute - none of which affects the taste!

This salad was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland, and the chicken was a bit dry. I think it could have used more seasoning, and I would have preferred to use grilled chicken instead of boiled chicken. Overall, it was a decent salad, but I would
