Curried Chicken Salad With Raisins and Honey image

What to do with leftover chicken? This recipe is from my heros at America's Test Kitchens. Since the chicken was already cooked, it was just a matter of putting together the sauce, which takes only minutes. I used dried cranberrys in place of the raisins. We used the salad in pita bread. Now I'm posting for safekeeping and to provide an option to everyone else asking what to do with leftover chicken. I'm posting the instructions as published in Cook's magazine, which include cooking the chicken.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of curry powder. The one I used was a little too spicy for my taste.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of curry powder, raisins, and honey sounds a little strange to me.

I made this salad for my lunch today and it was delicious! The curry powder gave it a nice kick and the raisins added a touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

This is one of my favorite recipes for chicken salad. It's so versatile and can be served on sandwiches, crackers, or even as a dip. I also like to add a little bit of chopped hard-boiled egg to the salad for extra protein.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based salads, but this one is an exception. The curry powder and raisins give it a unique and flavorful taste that I really enjoy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner and this is a great way to use them up. I also like to add chopped celery and walnuts to the salad for extra crunch.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more curry powder. I like my food spicy.

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The curry powder is very mild and the raisins and honey help to balance out the flavor.
