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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons best-quality olive oil
1 cup diced onions

4 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Serve the curried chicken salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This curried chicken salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
