INA GARTEN'S CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
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! The only change I made was to subsitute dried cranberries for the raisins because we don't like them! :) serve as sandwiches or scoop up with crackers! Enjoy! PREP TIME IS TIME TO ROAST CHICKEN AND COOL. COOK TIME IS TIME TO REFRIGERATE SALAD FOR FLAVORS TO BLEND!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- 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 chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice chicken in large bite-size pieces.
- For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney and curry powder, and 1 ½ 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.

CURRIED CHICKEN WRAPS A LA BAREFOOT CONTESSA - INA GARTEN
I saw Ina Garten prepare this on the show where she served this at a Beach Volleball Picnic. This combination sounded wondeful! I didn't allow for the cooling time of several hours .Update: 03/28/2009 please be sure to read Shug Avery's review. He is much more knowledgable on the subject than I.;) Update 07.24.2009 - please be aware that curries have different amounts of heat!! Use a little at a time - look at Pink''s review.;) As I stated in the recipe - use sweet/mild curry - that is where the I think the problem is - it depends upon the amount of heat that you may want. Update- 08/07/2009 please use the sweet/mild curry and use a little at a time - I copied the recipe just as it was written - and I editorialized in parentheses. Please read all reviews and the might shed some light on the curry-mania!! ;) I couldn't resist it!!!
