  350-degree F oven about 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the
  oven and cool. 2. TO PREPARE THE SALAD: Place the chicken in a pan
  and cover with water. Bring just to a boil, cover and reduce the heat
  to medium-low. Cook 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  Remove from the liquid and cool. Cut into small chunks or pull into
  shreds. 3. Combine the chicken with the celery, raisins and lemon
  peel. 4. TO PREPARE THE DRESSING: In a bowl, stir together the
  yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, honey, rosemary, salt and
  pepper. Stir into the salad, cover and refrigerate until ready to
  serve. 5. Wash the romaine and radicchio, pat dry and wrap in paper
  towels. Refrigerate. 6. When ready to serve, stir together 2
  teaspoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon olive oil.  Tear the lettuce
  into small pieces and toss with the lemon-oil mixture. Divide between
  plates and top with the chicken salad. Garnish with the croutons.
  Note: If radicchio is unavailable or too expensive, substitute red
  leaf lettuce.
