Fruity Curry Chicken Salad

  4.8 – 740 reviews  

I adore this basic, easy recipe for potato soup made in a slow cooker. For a little variety, I occasionally add bacon or Cheddar cheese. It has a variety of uses.

Used only 2 chicken breasts, cut the mayo to 1/2 cup, added extra celery and grapes. Left other ingredients as called for. Delicious salad.
John Meyers
Yum. This is a winner. Didn’t have raisins or grapes on hand, so I used craisins instead. Will be making this again!
Thomas Montgomery
I ate some as soon as I mixed it together – it was delicious! can it really get even better by tomorrow? (that 1/2 tsp curry is really just a hint. did people who thought it was overpowering use 1/2 tbsp?)
Donna Flynn
This was delish!! Loved it. It’s my new favorite chicken salad recipe. Thanks!!
Sharon Luna
One of my all time favorites! SO good! I get lots of compliments when I make this!! Thank you!
Lisa Gross
Very tasty. I use 1 – 1 1/2 tsp curry powder as the flavor isn’t strong enough.
Thomas Johnson
I make mine w yellow curry and apples and celery pepper mayo lil Mustard but I’ll add nuts! I also add turmeric and flax seed. I use Romain leaf as wrap or flout tortilla Your recipe looks delish!!
Stephanie Mathews
This is a fantastic recipe! The only change I made was to not add raisins for person preference and I added just a dash of dijon mustard. I thought it added a some depth to the flavor. Also I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Saved a lot of time and effort and tasted great.
Donald Perez
Great, simple, easy and delicious ! I didn’t use pecans but added chopped up cashews on top of sandwich just before eating.

This was the best Chicken Salad I’ve ever made. I cubed some chicken breast that I had previously steamed and basically just followed the recipe. The hint of Curry put it over the top good! I decided to not add the apple, but I can’t imagine it being any better. Especially the next day when the flavors have had time to compliment one another.
Leslie Francis
Followed recipe except subbed Walnuts instead of pecans and tried to wait till next day to eat it, but it was so good I just couldnt stop eating it. I cant wait to eat it tomorrow. A++++++
Elizabeth Robinson
Delicious as is, but I liked it even more after substituting craisins (dried cranberries) for the raisins and doubling the amount of curry powder. It’s true it gets even better the next day.
Michael Warner
Great recipe. I added more grapes since I had them (about 3/4 cup) and I thought it balanced it even nicer.
Ricardo Navarro
I didn’t have grapes, so I just omitted them, and I used red onion as I didn’t have the green onion. But……….OMG the next day this recipe was was best ever! I tasted it as I was making to see what else it might need, but the day it was like a whole new recipe! Let it sit for at least overnight!

I love this recipe, and have gotten a lot of love from other people about it. I have never done the chicken as they describe, I will get a rotisserie chicken or tinned chicken. I am also typically generous when it comes to the fruit and nuts. I quarter the grapes because I found grape halves to be too big. I have only used Granny Smith or Pink Lady apples cause they are my preference when it comes to apples in general. When I first made this I found that it was difficult to get the curry powder to be evenly distributed, and that it seemed to glom on to the apple slices. I developed the 4 mixing method to fix this. I cut up all the things and put in a bowl and stir it until mixed. Then I add the curry powder and pepper and mix. Then add chicken and mix. Then I add the mayo and mix for the last time.

A great flexible recipe. I marinaded & grilled the chicken, skipped the grapes & added dried unsweetened cherries, used sweet/spicy pecans from Trader Joe’s for the toasted pecans, and used a honey crisp apple. My family loved it. The salad was even tastier the next day.
Eric Coleman
I use rotisserie chicken and make it exactly as written. It is perfection in pita halves, or sandwiches, and pretty easy to throw together. All the flavors, textures, sweetness, & crunch blend together beautifully for a tasty can’t-miss chicken salad. I like to dry all fruits & veggies after washing to prevent the salad from being too “wet”.
Deborah Haney
Did 1.5 times the recipe and used regular Mayo. This recipe is not only beautiful, but it is also delicious! I have it in the refrigerator melding now. Thanks for sharing
Elizabeth Rivers
Absolutely fantastic! YmmmmO! I love this so much I’m going to mince the items smaller, serve on mini croissants and add it to my famous Tea Parties .. Most definitely a keeper!
Ms. Erica Martinez MD
my go to recipe with some omissions. I omitted regular onions and grapes.green onion, celery, apple and yellow raisins are enough filler for me.
Ashley Foster
A woman i work with made this for a pot luck at work, and it was absolutely delish. So I decided to get the recipe and make it for Memorial Day. Thank you for the recipe.
