COLD CHICKEN SALAD WITH EXOTIC CURRY AND CHUTNEY DRESSING



Cold Chicken Salad With Exotic Curry and Chutney Dressing image

Here's a unique and delicious take on chicken salad that has an interesting list of ingredients that combine for an exotic yet mild flavor. For a spectacular presentation, serve in a hollowed out loaf of crusty bread. Cut into wedges, bread and all, to serve. The original recipe is from a cookbook by Susan Brown Draudt entitled "Food Processor Cookery," published by HPBooks, Inc. in 1981 and 1984. Please note the recipe does not require a food processor and is a great way to use leftover roast chicken. Even the dark meat! For best results, please use Major Grey mild mango chutney with ginger and McCormick red curry powder. Both are widely available in larger supermarkets with international foods sections.
