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.

CHICKEN SALAD CROSTINI RECIPE



Chicken Salad Crostini Recipe image

Chicken Salad Crostini is just the appetizer you've been looking for. Perfect to get the party going.

Provided by Dionne Baldwin

Categories     Snacks

Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 baguettes, sliced into rounds
olive oil
1 pound cooked chicken, i used boneless skinless chicken breast
1 1/2 cups plain greek yogurt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the Crostini: Turn your oven on to broil and grab two baking sheets. Pour olive oil into a bowl and brush onto both sides of the sliced bread rounds using a pastry brush. Lay them in a single layer on the baking sheets. Place one pan on the center rack of your oven and broil until the edges of the bread is a beautiful light brown. This only takes 30 seconds in my oven but yours will be different. Stand by and watch for your ideal time. It may be more or less time for you. Turn the bread over and repeat with the other side. Continue until all the slices of bread are broiled. For the Chicken Salad: Chop cooked chicken into small pieces and stir together with 3/4 cup of Greek yogurt, onion powder and chopped rosemary, if you're using it in this recipe. Continue to stir until thoroughly mixed. Add cheese and stir in along with an additional 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt. If you're adding chopped apples, mix them in and also add another 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt. After the ingredients are completely mixed together, taste your chicken salad and add seasoning to fit your preference. Add more yogurt by the spoonful until the chicken salad fits your preference. Spoon the mixture onto the toasted slices of bread and top with dried parsley or chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!

8 oz slivered almonds, toasted

Tips for Curried Chicken Salad Crostini:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your crostini. Opt for free-range chicken, crisp celery, and ripe grapes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts should be cooked until they are just cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked chicken will make your crostini tough and chewy.
  • Let the chicken cool completely: Before you shred the chicken, let it cool completely. This will help prevent the chicken from falling apart and making your crostini messy.
  • Use a flavorful curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a high-quality blend. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek.
  • Adjust the curry powder to taste: Start with 1 tablespoon of curry powder and then add more to taste. The amount of curry powder you need will depend on your personal preference.
  • Use a good-quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is another key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good-quality brand. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
  • Don't over-mix the chicken salad: Mix the chicken salad just until the ingredients are combined. Over-mixing will make the chicken salad tough and dry.
  • Serve the crostini immediately: Crostini are best served immediately after they are made. The bread will become soggy if you let them sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken salad crostini are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty crostini at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give curried chicken salad crostini a try.
