Remove from the heat and allow the chicken to cool in the broth. When cool, separate the meat from the bones. Discard the bones and broth.
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and put it into a large bowl with the oranges, cashew halves, dates, and red pepper; set aside.
In a small bowl, make the dressing by mixing together the yogurt, mayonnaise, coconut, chutney, and the remaining teaspoon of curry powder; blend well.
Fold the yogurt dressing into the chicken-orange mixture.
Arrange lettuce cups on a large platter. Fill with salad, garnish with coconut and cashews.
* Plain orange or lemon yogurt may be substituted.
