Chicken Salad

We have always enjoyed chicken salads and I found a new favorite recipe that I've made several times this summer.  I found it at Epicurious.com where I find lots of recipes we love. 

You can view the complete recipe online at: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/358017
Chicken Salad with Grapes and Walnuts
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
5 cups water
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup seedless grapes, halved crosswise
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (3 ounces)
3 tablespoons drained capers, chopped

Toss chicken with 2 teaspoons salt.

Bring water and broth to a boil in a large saucepan, then add chicken and cook at a bare simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool, then tear into 1-inch chunks.

Meanwhile, stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, and mustard.

Stir chicken and remaining ingredients into dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
