Curried Chicken Salad

Have leftover chicken? Try this flavorful curried chicken salad.  An easy way to use up that leftover chicken, this curried chicken salad was made with grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs that had marinated in a bit of olive oil and lots of fresh herbs.

Thigh meat works well in a curried chicken salad as the rich, dark meat of the thigh pairs well with the complexity of curry powder. Raisins, almonds, celery, scallion, a touch of lemon and herbs completes the dish. This one is even better the next day. (sheknows.com)

 Serves 3 or 4

 

Ingredients:

  • 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)
Steps:
  • 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, 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.
