CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES
This chicken salad sandwich recipe is perfect to serve when you want to "show off" a little. It features an interesting blend of chicken, nuts, cranberries, curry and other ingredients. I mix it up the night before so the flavors meld. -Carole Martin, Coffeeville, Mississippi

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.
CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
Steps:
- Chop the chicken into 1/2-inch pieces and put them in a bowl. Stir in the mango, raisins, scallions, and celery. Separately, whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, curry powder, ginger, and salt together. Add the yogurt mixture to the chicken and stir gently until thoroughly combined. Serve atop the lettuce leaves, garnished with the almonds and cilantro.
- variations
- If you don't have a mango or aren't a mango lover, this salad is wonderful with diced Fuji apples.
- Making pita pocket sandwiches is a fantastic way to get much-needed nutrients into your body and fill your belly while you're running errands, waiting for a doctor's appointment, or otherwise on the go. Place a pita on a flat work surface and cut a 2-inch section off the top using a knife. With the pita lying flat, put in 1/4 cup of salad greens, then carefully spread 1/2 cup of the chicken salad on top of the greens, making certain to spread it around the entire cavity of the pita.
- rebecca's notes
- Save time by using store-bought organic roast chicken or, better yet, the leftovers from Orange Ginger Roasted Chicken (page 117).
- storage
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.

INA GARTEN'S CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
Saw this on Ina Garten's Back to Basics a few weeks back. Been thinking about it a lot and I finally tried it! It was super yummy! The only change I made was to subsitute dried cranberries for the raisins because we don't like them! :) serve as sandwiches or scoop up with crackers! Enjoy! PREP TIME IS TIME TO ROAST CHICKEN AND COOL. COOK TIME IS TIME TO REFRIGERATE SALAD FOR FLAVORS TO BLEND!
