Ingredients

FOR CHICKEN SALAD:
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts chopped into 1/2" dice (I use rotisserie chicken breasts)
  • 2 stalks celery chopped into 1/4" dice
  • ½ cup onion chopped into 1/4" dice
  • 3 scallions thinly sliced
  • ½ cup currants
  • ¾ cup macadamia nuts roughly chopped
FOR MANGO CHUTNEY DRESSING:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • heaping ⅓ cup curried mango chutney
  • ¼ teaspoon parsley
  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce (optional - if you like more heat)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, celery, onion, scallions, currants and macadamia nuts. Toss to combine and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chutney and parsley until smooth. Taste for seasonings and adjust as necessary.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until the dressing evenly coats the chicken salad.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two for the flavors to marry. Serve over mixed greens, on a brioche or sandwich roll or in a pineapple or papaya boat.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
