Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ pounds chicken breast (- or four chicken breasts, butterflied)
1-2 Tablespoons curry powder (- to taste for baking (I used plenty, and massaged it into the chicken.))
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (- to taste )
a drizzle of olive oil
1 1/2 cups red grapes (- sliced in half)
1 1/2 cups celery (- diced)
1/2 cup green onion (- diced)
1 cup pecans (- chopped and toasted)
1 cup lighter mayonnaise (- I use one with olive oil)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (- full fat)
1 large lemon (- freshly squeezed)
1 Tablespoon curry powder
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Butterfly chicken breasts. Season with curry powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Cook chicken. We like to grill it or bake it.
  • Grill or bake chicken until instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees, allowing for it to carry-over cook a few more degrees. Let cool slightly.
  • Shred chicken. I like to use my standing mixer for this, and I use my paddle attachment. Place shredded chicken in large mixing bowl.
  • Toast the chopped pecans over medium heat until fragrant. Remove to cool.
  • To the mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients - the celery, green onion, grapes, and toasted pecans. Stir to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, greek yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, salt and pepper. Pour over the salad and mix well.
  • Refrigerate at least two hours before serving for best results. The flavors will absorb into the chicken breasts.

Categories     main-dish

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.
