Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken breast approximately 4 medium size breasts, boneless, skinless
- olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup chutney Stonewall Kitchen Major Grey's is what I used
- 1/2 cup celery approximately 2 medium size stalks, diced
- 1/4 cup dried apricot about 6, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1/4 cup green onion white and green can be used, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro roughly chopped or torn, fresh
- 3/4 cup cashew coarsely chopped, roasted
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place into a large frying pan.
- Sear chicken on high heat for about two minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Turn down the heat to a low and place a tight-fitting lid on the frying pan to further cook the chicken breasts for 8-10 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking make the dressing. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, curry powder, cardamom, white wine vinegar, and chutney. Whisk until ingredients are combined.
- Remove the lid from the frying pan and pierce the chicken with a fork, if the juices run clear, it is done. The internal temp should be 165 degrees. Allow to cool to room temperature. Once cool, cut chicken into 1/4" size pieces.
- Transfer diced chicken to a large serving bowl and add in dressing. Stir to combine. Add red onion, green onion, diced apricot, and celery to the chicken and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover bowl and chill chicken salad in refrigerator for at least one hour.
- When ready to serve, remove chicken salad from fridge and let stand for 15 minutes. Top with chopped cilantro and cashews.
