RICE-A-RONI CHICKEN CURRY SALAD
This is a recipe for a cold rice/chicken salad with a curry twist, using Rice-a-Roni. My sister-in-law makes this for potlucks, baby showers, family get-togethers. It is always a favorite dish. I have made it as well and love the curry taste in it....and I'm not a huge curry fan! This recipe will serve 6 if it's used as a main dish or 8 for side servings. If you make it for a crowd, just double the recipe.
