CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
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.

Cut into 1/4-inch dice. Toast the almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and beginning to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, and curry powder. Fold in the chicken, grapes and cilantro and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss the greens with the oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the greens on 4 individual plates, top with a scoop of the chicken salad and sprinkle with the almonds.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD - SOMETHING NATURAL, NANTUCKET
From the Something Natural restaurant in Nantucket, MA as seen on Rachael Ray's $40 a Day. This is a very flavorful, no mayonnaise, chicken salad that is excellent served on croissants, multi-grain bread or salad greens. I have adapted to use 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/2 c. yogurt rather than 1 c. yogurt. Be sure to taste as you season because flavor may vary depending on the strength of your curry powder and Dijon mustard.

- Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through, but not dry. Otherwise, your chicken salad will be dry and tough.

- Use a good-quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is the binder that holds the chicken salad together. Make sure to use a mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
- Add some crunch. Adding some chopped celery, almonds, or grapes will give your chicken salad some crunch and texture.
- Chill the chicken salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the chicken salad easier to handle.
