RECIPE COLLECTION
“CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD” IS IN:

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD 
2-3 boneless chicken breasts, skin removed
2 stalks celery, strings removed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup real mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
1/2 medium onion, finely minced
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
lettuce leaves, for serving
paprika (optional)

Simmer the chicken in water (or chicken broth if you have it - then reserve for making soup later on. Do not allow the water or broth to boil.

Meanwhile, remove the strings from the celery and dice it into 1/3 inch dice. Wash and chop the cilantro. Peel and dice or mince the onion and garlic.

Stir the curry powder, diced celery, cilantro, onion, and garlic into the mayonnaise, mixing well.

Remove the chicken from the pan using a slotted spoon. Dice into bite sized chunks. Add to the mayonnaise. Mix well.

Arrange a few perfect lettuce leaves in the center of a salad dish. Scoop the chicken mixture onto the center. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika (we like to use either the Hungarian or smoked paprika) and top with a sprig of cilantro.

Serves 3 or 4.

We can triple or quadruple the recipe. I use Walnuts instead of almonds and no paprika.

We loved it!!! I'm not a big fan of curry but this was lite yet tasty. I used boiled chicken breast. I had left over and since it was already chilled it made it even better! Definitely making it again.

I made this for sandwiches, used walnuts and cranberries. Love this with curry - takes a bland dish and perks it right up!

For sandwiches, I cut the chicken smaller and 'shredded' the chicken to make it fit well in to bread. A bit of tomato, lettuce and a wonderful sandwich!

Since I found this recipe I use any leftover check for chicken salad..keeps several days if refrigerated in well sealed Tupperware.
