Saw this on Ina Garten's Back to Basics a few weeks back. Been thinking about it a lot and I finally tried it! It was super yummy!

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD WITH GRAPES
A touch of curry makes this salad interesting but not overpowered like some. This calls for roasting chicken (better flavor than poaching), but I prefer to use rotisserie chicken. It is so easy and flavorful, not to mention a time saver. I always season to taste, but the measurements should be about right. I toss the salad the night before to give the flavors time to meld.

Steps:
- Place chicken on rack inside a 9"x13" pan. Rub breasts with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and Mrs. Dash (or similar seasoning).
- Roast until no longer pink, about 45 minutes.
- Cool until easy to handle. Remove skin and bones. Shred meat into bite-sized pieces. (Shredding instead of cubing allows the dressing to adhere to the chicken more easily.).
- Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients. Taste often to reach desired outcome.
- Combine chicken, celery and grapes. Toss with enough dressing to coat, allowing for a little extra as the chicken will absorb some while melding in the refrigerator.
- Best chilled overnight, but it is still great if you can't wait that long.
- Serve alone or with rolls for sandwiches.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken, onion, coriander, and raisins. In a small saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the curry powder and stir for a minute or until fragrant. Remove pan from the heat and let the flavored oil cool.
- In a small bowl mix together the curry oil, mayonnaise, lime juice and chutney. Gently fold the chicken mixture into the flavored mayonnaise. Add the nuts, if desired. Serve on a bed of lettuce or in a pita sandwich.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your curried chicken salad will taste. Use fresh, organic vegetables and herbs, and free-range chicken.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Let the chicken cool completely before shredding it: This will help prevent the chicken from falling apart and make it easier to shred.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful and nutritious your curried chicken salad will be. Some good options include celery, carrots, onions, cucumbers, and grapes.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Curry powder is a classic spice for curried chicken salad, but you can also use other spices, such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
- Make sure to taste the salad before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more curry powder, salt, or pepper.
Conclusion:
Curried chicken salad is a delicious and versatile dish. It can be served as a sandwich, salad, or wrap. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
