CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked.

- For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
- Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.

COOL CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
"Curry and mustard complement the sweet fruit and crunchy nuts in this guilt-free salad. I like on a bed of greens or whole wheat toast, or scooped up with apple slices. Instead of chicken breast, try store-bought rotisserie chicken." -Joanna Perdomo, Miami, Florida

CREAMY CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
I got this recipe from a friend after he brought some to a picnic - I fell in love with it instantly. It's from the June 2002 Gourmet magazine, but I've tweaked it to my own tastes (it can be found in it's original form in recipe # 129270). I only use Greek yogurt but plain non-fat yogurt works. I never add mayo anymore so I left that off the ingredients list - I can't taste the difference. I'm also not a fan of sweet & savory together so I leave out the fruit. Serve this with cous cous or taboulle salad, or it goes great on lettuce, pitas, croissants, and hard rolls.
