To prepare chicken breasts without using any fat, choose poaching. Heat them in barely simmering water for a few minutes, then let stand in the liquid until cooked through. They will stay moist and tender -- perfect for cold salads.

This salad is a waste of time and ingredients. It's bland and boring. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This salad is not very good. The tarragon is overpowering and the grapes are too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This salad is just okay. I think it needs more seasoning. I'll probably add some salt and pepper next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less grapes next time.
