Simple Curry Chicken Salad
Simple Curry Chicken Salad is a lightened up version of classic chicken salad with rich, warm curry added in.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded chicken {about 1 1/2 pounds}
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons curry
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 silvered almonds {or chopped almonds}
- 1/2 cup carrots shredded
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 2 green onions green parts chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey and curry and stir until the chicken is coated with the yogurt mixture.
- Add the raisins, almonds, carrots, celery and mix well. Add the green onions and parsley and gently stir.
- Serve the chicken salad on a bed of greens, in a lettuce wrap or on a sandwich.
- Refrigerate the remaining chicken salad in a sealed container.
Notes
- I like to use a rotisserie chicken and pull the meat off for a quick and easy chicken salad. You can also use any leftover chicken you have or easily poach chicken and shred that.
- If you don't like Greek yogurt you can also use sour cream and mayonnaise or any combination you like. For example, you could do 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1/2 cup sour cream.
- Try adding a different nut, like walnuts or pecans.
- Other dried fruit works great-try regular raisins or dried cranberries.
