skillet
over high heat, heat chicken and 1/2 inch water to boiling.

low, cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until juices run clear
when
chicken is pierced with a knife. With a slotted spoon, remove
chicken to
plate; cool until easy to handle.
Meanwhile, thinly slice celery. In a large bowl, stir celery,
light
mayonnaise, milk, curry powder, 1/2 cup dried cherries and 2

mixture.
To serve, arrange chicken mixture and avocado chunks on a large
platter.
Sprinkle chicken mixture with remaining dried cherries. Garnish
