CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES WITH MANGO CHUTNEY
This delicious and easy chicken salad is a far cry from the standard mayonnaise-based concoction. Here, the few ingredients, including spicy mango chutney, are bound together with Greek yogurt, which lightens it all up and gives it a tang brought out even more by a little lemon juice. It is a grown-up chicken salad that would be welcome in a child's lunch box.

MANGO CHUTNEY CHICKEN SALAD
There are a few of these up, but this one is a little bit different - and there is no curry in it. It's actually a little bit healthy - and of course you can make alterations to make it even more so. I'm curious to know what this would taste like with chickpeas instead of chicken...DO use the brown rice. It will NOT be the same with white.I'm kind of guessing about the yield. It makes a lot, I know that! It's great with crackers or on a nice bed of greens. Cooking time does NOT include chilling (although I just ate some while it was still warm...still tastes great)

Steps:
- If using yogurt in place of mayo, you must drain it or it will be way to watery (perhaps you could use Greek style yogurt without draining). I use a fine mesh sieve lined with about 3 layers of paper towels. Add about 1.5 cups of yogurt to end up with a cup of drained yogurt. Allow it to drain for at least an hour - you'll be surprised how much water comes out - and how thick the yogurt gets!
- Combine chutney and mayo or yogurt in small bowl, set aside.
- Cook rice according to instructions (This will be about 1 cup of uncooked brown rice, maybe a little more. Don't worry if it's not exactly 2 cups.).
- Chop the pecans and toast them - either put them on a baking sheet and place them in the oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant or do it on the stove top in a frying pan.
- Chop the apple and place in large bowl, the one you will put the whole salad in, and add the juice of the half lemon (just put something on the apples so they don't turn brown).
- Chop the celery, green onions. Dump them in with the apples.
- Optional: half or slice the grapes - I leave them whole, I think they're nice that way. Dump them in the bowl.
- Cut up and cook chicken breasts. Again, you could bake these, boil them, cook them on the stove top, whatever floats your boat. I just put some salt and pepper on them and throw them in a frying pan. Dump this in the bowl.
- Add the mayo/yogurt and chutney mixture and stir to combine.
- Refrigerate before serving (if you can wait that long). The flavors will develop over time. Nice cold or at room temperature.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use fresh, ripe mangoes for the chutney. If mangoes are not in season, you can substitute canned mango chunks or frozen mango slices, thawed and drained.
- If you don't have mango chutney on hand, you can make your own using the recipe provided in the article. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sour cream to your liking. If you prefer a creamier salad, add more mayonnaise. If you want a tangier salad, add more sour cream.
- For a crunchy topping, add some chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans, to the salad.
- Serve the chicken salad on its own, or use it as a sandwich filling or wrap.
Conclusion:
This chicken salad with mango chutney is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's packed with flavor and texture, and it's sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting chicken salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
