Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
4 cups cooked long-grain white rice (about 1 1/3 cups raw), cooled
1 10-ounce package frozen petit peas, thawed
1 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained, chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins or dried currants
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons ground cumin

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and curry powder and sauté 5 minutes. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and cool. Mix in rice, peas, bell peppers, raisins and cilantro.
  • Whisk remaining 3/4 cup oil, vinegar and cumin in small bowl to blend. Add enough dressing to salad to season to taste; toss well. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a good quality curry powder. Look for one that is fresh and has a strong aroma.
  • If you don't have any curry powder, you can substitute a blend of ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
  • To make the chicken more tender, marinate it in the yogurt and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have any time to marinate the chicken, you can cook it without marinating it. However, the chicken will be less tender.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients.
  • To make the salad more filling, add some cooked rice or quinoa.
  • Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette or yogurt dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken and rice salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
