Ingredients for All The Fixins Curried Chicken Salad

  • Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • Celery Ribs
  • Onions
  • Apple
  • Raisins
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons mango chutney
  • Hot Sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)

How to Make All The Fixins Curried Chicken Salad

  1. Cook chicken if necessary. Shred or chop 2 cups of cooked chicken.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), 1/4 cup golden raisins, 2 tablespoons mango chutney (finely chopped if desired), 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a few dashes of mild hot sauce (like green Tabasco).
  3. Gently stir all ingredients until well combined.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more curry powder for extra spice, more mayonnaise for creaminess, or more chutney for tang.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step is optional, but recommended for best taste.
  6. Serve chilled. Enjoy on its own, in a croissant, or on a bed of butter lettuce for a delightful lunch or light dinner.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
