Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise (recommended: Hellman's)
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chutney (recommended: Major Grey's)
3 tablespoons curry powder
1 cup medium-diced celery (2 large stalks)
1/4 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
1/4 cup raisins
1 cup whole roasted, salted cashews

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.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium/large cooked chicken breasts, shredded
3 stalks celery, small-diced
½ cup roasted cashews, plus more to taste
½ cup golden raisins, plus more to taste
½ cup roasted and salted pistachios (shells removed)
3 scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped Italian parsley
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
1 to 2 tablespoons honey (plus more to taste)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh lemon juice to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make the honey curry dressing: In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, garlic powder. Then, mix in the freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust if needed - for more sweetness, add more honey. For more acidity, squeeze a little bit more lemon juice.
  • In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, celery, cashews, raisins, pistachios, scallions, and Italian parsley along with the prepared honey curry dressing. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve and enjoy! I love serving it over a bed of mixed greens. You can also make sandwiches or wraps.
