Curry Chicken Salad Recipe
Report
This easy Curry Chicken Salad is so quick and simple to make - perfect for your next picnic or summer get-togethers. You are going to love how delicious the chicken salad is. Lean chicken, in a wonderfully creamy curried mayonnaise, finished with celery, cranberries, dried apricots, almonds, and fresh chives. Serve it up on top of a lettuce leaf, in a bread roll, with toast points or in an avocado. You can make this for lunch, as a side at a barbecue, for a baby shower or as a light dinner.

Ingredients
For the dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream - see note 1
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon curry powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the curry chicken salad
- 4 cups chicken see note 2, cooked
- 1 tick celery
- ¼ cup dried apricot
- ¼ cup almonds slivered
- 2 tablespoon dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon chives chopped
Instructions
To make the dressing
- Combine the dressing ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.
For the Curry Chicken Salad
- Place the cooked chicken in a large bowl and pour over the dressing. Mix well
- Finely chop the celery stick, then cut teh dried apricots into quarters.
- Add these to the salad along with the dried cranberries, slivered almonds and chopped chives.
- Stir well then refrigerate for at least an hour. (see note 3)
Notes
- Heavy cream/double cream/thickened cream.
- 4 cups of cooked chicken is between 2 large and 3 regular chicken breasts, see how to easily poach the chicken here. Alternatively you can cut the meat from a rotisserie chicken.
- You can eat the curried chicken salad straight away but it will definitely benefit from a stint in the fridge. It will keep for up to 3 days, assuming you used fresh chicken.
