CURRY CHICKEN SALAD BY PAULA DEEN



Curry Chicken Salad by Paula Deen image

This is from Paula Deen's cooking show and I did not see it posted here so I hope it's not a repeat. She was not consistent in telling exactly how much of each ingredient, so some are an estimate, and I've guessed the number of servings. I made it tonight for lunch tomorrow and I really liked it, it has a very mild curry flavor. I subsituted 1/2 the mayonnaise with sour cream and dried cranberries for the grapes.

CURRY CHICKEN SALAD



Curry Chicken Salad image

I'm not a huge curry fan and wouldn't think this was appealing on my own, but this Paula Deen recipe is to-die-for. We've had this at work a couple times, and you can't stop eating it once you start. There's something about the mixture that is addictive...if I see red grapes anywhere I instantly think of this chicken salad recipe. Bring this to your next potluck.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large roasted whole chicken, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 cup chopped celery
8 ounces water chestnuts, drained and sliced
2 cups red seedless grapes, halved
2 ounces slivered almonds
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon prepared mango chutney
salt

Steps:

  • Gently combine the chicken, celery, water chestnuts, grapes, and almonds in a large glass bowl.
  • Combine the dressing ingredients and mix well.
  • Add to the chicken mixture and stir gently to combine.
  • Season with salt to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients for the best results. Look for ripe, juicy chicken breasts and fresh, crisp celery and red onion. A good quality mayonnaise and tangy Dijon mustard will also make a big difference.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Cool the chicken completely before shredding: This will help to prevent the chicken from falling apart and becoming mushy.
  • Use a sharp knife to shred the chicken: This will help to create even, bite-sized pieces of chicken.
  • Don't overmix the salad: Mix the salad gently until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing will make the salad mushy.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Curry chicken salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

This curry chicken salad is a flavorful and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great option for potlucks and picnics. With its creamy, tangy dressing and tender chicken, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
