Curried Chicken Salad With Almonds and Raisins image

There's a wonderful restaurant in Atlanta called Joli Kobe, they make the best chicken curry salad. I happened to find a recipe on food network from Tyler Florence that tastes exactly the same. It's wonderful on top of spring salad with ginger dressing.
