3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise (recommended: Hellman's)

CHERRY CHICKEN SALAD



Cherry Chicken Salad image

After dining at a cafe in Michigan about 10 years ago, I tried duplicating this scrumptious twist on Chicken Salad at home. The cherries can be ordered on-line these days, which makes it much easier for those of us living where cherries are not readily available. Regular milk can be substituted for buttermilk, if necessary.

CHERRY-CASHEW CHICKEN SALAD



Cherry-Cashew Chicken Salad image

This tasty chicken salad is from Cuisine at Home magazine. They recommend using a purchased rotisserie chicken, which will yield the amount of chicken meat needed for the recipe. You can also use any type of chicken grilled or roasted at home. Just don't use boiled or canned chicken, because the flavor won't be as good.

CASHEW CHERRY CURRY CHICKEN SALAD



Cashew Cherry Curry Chicken Salad image

I'm a southern cook so I season to taste. When I don't have an exact measurement, don't worry, just add spices a little at a time so your palate will tell you what tastes yummy! You can make a sandwich or put it over a bed of lettuce. My favorite is on a croissant. Just try it...you'll love it!

Categories     Chicken Salads

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 - large chicken breasts (with ribs)
1/3 cup(s) red onion, diced
1 - stalk celery, chopped
1/2-3/4 cup(s) dried cherries, chopped
1/2-3/4 cup(s) unsalted cashew pieces
- enough mayonnaise to bind chicken
2-3 pinch(es) sri lankan curry
- salt and white pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Boil 3 large chicken breasts for 35-45 minutes. Cool and remove skin. Pull chicken off of bone and tear into bite-size pieces.
  • In a large bowl add the chicken pieces, diced red onion, chopped celery, dried cherries and cashew pieces.
  • Add enough mayonnaise to bind the ingredients together without making it goopy. I start with 1/2 cup and then add a little more at a time so I don't overdo it.
  • Add the curry. You may want to add it in slowly so you can taste test the strength of the curry. I add 2-3 pinches, mix, then more if I want it stronger. (I use the Sri Lankan curry blend which contains coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, cloves and other spices. You can get it at www.spice-appeal.com if you're interested or use your own type of curry.)
  • Add salt and white pepper to taste. I use white pepper because I love it but you can use black if you prefer.

Tips for Making Cashew Cherry Curry Chicken Salad:

  • Use fresh, succulent cherries for the best flavor. If fresh cherries are unavailable, thaw frozen cherries before using.
  • Toast the cashews in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. This step intensifies their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the salad.
  • Use a good quality curry powder. A mild curry powder is a good choice if you don't like spicy food. For a more flavorful salad, use a medium or hot curry powder.
  • Be sure to chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens or on croissants or crackers.

Conclusion:

Cashew Cherry Curry Chicken Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet cherries, crunchy cashews, and savory curry powder creates a unique and flavorful salad that is sure to please everyone.
