To poach chicken breast: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan and add lightly salted water to cover, bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10-12 minutes.

To toast chopped or sliced nuts, heat a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2-3 minutes.

1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons fruit-flavored vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
8 cups mixed salad greens
2 cups sliced cooked chicken breast
2 cups chopped melon, such as cantaloupe and/or honeydew
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Whisk sour cream, vinegar, sugar (to taste) , poppy seeds, salt and pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Reserve 1/4 of the dressing in a small bowl. Refrigerate. Add the mixed greens to the large bowl and toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates and top with chicken, melon, walnuts and feta. Drizzle each portion with 1 tablespoon of the reserved dressing.
