Curried Chicken Salad With Grapes image

A touch of curry makes this salad interesting but not overpowered like some. This calls for roasting chicken (better flavor than poaching), but I prefer to use rotisserie chicken. It is so easy and flavorful, not to mention a time saver. I always season to taste, but the measurements should be about right. I toss the salad the night before to give the flavors time to meld.

Time 55m

Yield 8 1 cup servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 chicken breasts, halved bone-in
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
pepper
seasoning, such as Mrs. Dash
1 3/4 cups diced celery
2 cups halved red grapes
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
2/3 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken on rack inside a 9"x13" pan. Rub breasts with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and Mrs. Dash (or similar seasoning).
  • Roast until no longer pink, about 45 minutes.
  • Cool until easy to handle. Remove skin and bones. Shred meat into bite-sized pieces. (Shredding instead of cubing allows the dressing to adhere to the chicken more easily.).
  • Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients. Taste often to reach desired outcome.
  • Combine chicken, celery and grapes. Toss with enough dressing to coat, allowing for a little extra as the chicken will absorb some while melding in the refrigerator.
  • Best chilled overnight, but it is still great if you can't wait that long.
  • Serve alone or with rolls for sandwiches.
