 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3      pounds        chicken breasts -- bone in
                       salt and pepper
  1      cup           mayonnaise
    1/2  cup           sour cream
    1/4  cup           chutney
  1      tablespoon    ground ginger
  1      tablespoon    curry powder
    1/2  teaspoon      salt
  1      cup           thinly sliced celery
    1/4  cup           thinly sliced green onions
  4      small         pineapples -- green tops intact
  2                    avocados -- ripe
  2                    papayas -- ripe
                       watercress sprigs
                       *Condiments*
                       chopped roasted peanuts
                       chopped hard-boiled eggs
                       chopped cooked bacon

Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Steam until
tender. Cool, bone, and cut into cubes. In a large bowl,
combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chutney, ginger, curry, and
salt. Fold in chicken, celery, and onions. Chill for 2 hours
and adjust seasonings. Cut pineapples, including the green
tops, in half lengthwise and carefully cut out fruit, leaving
shells approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut some of the fruit into
small slices and reserve for garnish. Just before serving, peel
and dice avocados and papayas, fold into chicken mixture. Mound
into the pineapple shells and garnish with reserved pineapple
slices and watercress.  Pass condiments in small bowls.

NOTES: We have always used boneless chicken breasts, about
2-2.5 lbs. We also skip the pineapple boats and watercress, mix
the harboiled egg in from the start, and serve the salad in one
bowl  with the peanuts and bacon sprinkled on top. Rhona notes
that this  salad is also good with salmon instead of chicken.
