CURRIED CHICKEN RICE SALAD
About 30 years ago, I got this recipe from a pamphlet at a Visitor's Center just over the Mississippi River from Mississippi into Arkansas. It has been a summer mainstay ever since. The time required assumes you already have cooled cooked rice. Also, I go heavy on the pineapple and use a whole can rather than 1 cup.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare a regular box of chicken flavored Rice A Roni according to package directions. While the Rice A Roni is cooking, cut up a chicken breast into bite size cubes, halve the green grapes, thinly slice 1 stalk of celery, drain the mandarin oranges and marinated artichoke hearts. Reserve 2 tbsp of the marinated artichoke oil. In a large bowl, add the cooked Rice a Roni and the rest of the ingredients. TASTE! Adjust seasonings to your taste!! Some folks like more curry powder while others just like a little hint of it. If using a large FAMILY size box of Rice A Roni double the rest of the ingredients. It's a very forgiving recipe. Refrigerate.
Tips:
- For the perfect curried chicken, use a combination of dark and white meat. Dark meat has more flavor, while white meat is leaner and healthier.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste. If you like a milder curry, use less powder. If you like a spicier curry, use more powder.
- If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute another crunchy vegetable, such as carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas.
- For a creamier salad, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise to the dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a healthy and flavorful option for a packed lunch.
