Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice the chicken into large bite-size pieces.
- For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
- Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.
COLD CHICKEN WITH CURRY MAYONNAISE
A make-ahead dish, which can be served to guests. The curry isn't overwhelming - it's in the sauce and adds flavour. A good dish for a hot day. Thanks to Annette Human's Microwave Winners. I prefer to roast the chicken conventionally. The cooking time does not include the chilling time.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken. Organic, free-range chicken is a great option.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked chicken will be tough and chewy.
- Let the chicken cool completely before shredding it. This will help to prevent the chicken from falling apart.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different curry powders. There are many different types of curry powder available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Cold chicken curry salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying salad that the whole family will enjoy.
