Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds chicken breasts (skinless and boneless)
  2. 1 cup mayonnaise
  3. 2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  4. 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoons mango chutney (or orange marmalade)

Instructions

  1. In medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil, reduce heat and add chicken. Add fresh garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until fork tender – be careful not to overcook. Remove chicken from saucepan and allow for chicken to rest on a wire rack.

  4. Cut a medium to large sized Hawaiian papaya lengthwise and remove all seeds. Let chill.
  5. Prepare a plate with a layer of greens. Place the chilled half papaya in the center of the plate, surrounded by the greens. Using an ice cream scoop, place a generous scoop of chilled curried chicken salad into the center of the papaya, and sprinkle with paprika, for garnish.

This was so delicious! I didn’t have most of the ingredients so just made it with the mayo, chicken, curry powder, and mango chutney. Yummy. When I cooked the chicken up in the pan I added salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and (at the last 30 sec.) jarred minced garlic. Loads of flavor. When I make it again I would not add salt to the chicken when cooking.

This restaurant has been voted #1 breakfast for a reason. Every chance I can make it to Oahu, I make sure to visit for the amazing breakfast choices. My favorites are the Guava Chiffon and the Lobster Eggs Benedict. Lunch choices are vast and will suit any mood. Be adventurous and try some of the local favorites for a change of pace. You will not be disappointed.

If you find yourself on Oahu, make sure to visit this restaurant. Well worth the effort, I promise.
