Thanks for a great recipe, and thanks to the reviewers for their great suggestions! I poached the chicken breast in broth. I added a dash of Worchestershire, a bit of red onion, a dash of celery salt, black pepper, cumin, lemon juice, Dijon, grapes and toasted slivered almonds. I used 1/2 light mayo and 1/2 light sour cream. This is best left in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to help the flavors get to know each other.
I make this with cubed chicken coated with Curry and Coriander then browned, mixing the mayo and Curry and Tandoori Masala slurry, then adding chopped Celery, jicama, Walnuts and chicken. Set up in the fridge for 3hr.or more covered; wonderful flavors. Serve over lettuce of choice.
Love the curry, but it needs something sweet, like cranberries or apple sliced small.
OMG! I have searched for this recipe for years. I used to get it at a local market every weekend. This is the exact same salad. Thank you thank you for sharing this! Very delicious!
Made this with rotisserie chicken. Added toasted pecans, a little cumin (as someone suggested), red grapes cut up and olive oil mayo. Served it with spring salad greens and basalmic vinegar dressing!!!! Amazing!!!
I misread the directions and put in 2 tablespoons of curry powder instead of 2 teaspoons. I also used two cans (one 12.5-ounce and one 5-ounce) of chunk white meat chicken instead of the cooked breast. I think the extra curry powder improved its flavor! It did give the salad a yellow color, though.
Absolutely delicious! I used rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and added craisins, red onion and cumin like another reviewer recommended. Definitely will make again.
This is a good base. I changed it by adding 2 chopped red and yellow mini peppers, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 tsp ground powdered cayenne, trader joes 21 season salute (to taste) 1/4 cup sliced almonds and black pepper (to taste). I left out the celery – I didn’t have any. Very good the next day on crackers but you can put on bread also. I used one costco chicken breast shredded.
I added black pepper, craisins and chopped walnuts to mine. Don’t leave out the fresh lemon juice. It makes a difference here!
I love this salad! As per some other suggestions, I added green onions, a little Dijon mustard and a little lemon juice. This is one of the best salads I’ve tasted in a long time! I poached the chicken breasts because it’s so quick and easy, and I wanted the chicken to be bland so the other flavors would come through. Absolutely delicious!
I have made this quite a few times love love love it. This time I added onion a little lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce still amazing!!!
This sandwich spread recipe is perfect!
Love curry chicken salad. Added 1/3 cup of. Grey’s chutney….AWESOME.
I use walnuts.
This is really good!
Yummy, easy recipe! I added roasted blanched almonds for more crunch, sliced green grapes as well as some of the yellow cherry tomatoes. Additionally a few tablespoons of sour cream for added creaminess. Adjust amount of curry powder to taste, I like a stronger curry flavor.
Delicious, I’ll make this again!
This is a great simple recipe. I just made a few changes. I added a little salt, almonds, and raisins. I also used half mayo and half sour cream which I always do with my chicken salad. I will definitely make it again when I have a curry craving.
I used curry now by Penzey’s Added extra raisins and left sit overnight .Very Good
Super simple and ready for whatever additions you care to add. I had already pan-seared and then roasted the chicken breasts with garlic, salt and pepper, so there was already good flavor there. The only thing I added was a 1/4 cup chopped cashews…but they don’t really add much. I typically make my chicken salads with a bit of mustard and vinegar, so this was a very nice change of pace and something I’ll be making again soon.
If you like the taste of curry then your probably will want to double the curry powder. I use this as the basic for adding fruit and/or vegetable combinations when I eat this like a salad.
