CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD - SOMETHING NATURAL, NANTUCKET



Curried Chicken Salad - Something Natural, Nantucket image

From the Something Natural restaurant in Nantucket, MA as seen on Rachael Ray's $40 a Day. This is a very flavorful, no mayonnaise, chicken salad that is excellent served on croissants, multi-grain bread or salad greens. I have adapted to use 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/2 c. yogurt rather than 1 c. yogurt. Be sure to taste as you season because flavor may vary depending on the strength of your curry powder and Dijon mustard.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD



Curried Chicken Salad image

Delicious main dish salad, perfect for a summer lunch or light supper. I typically use Madras (hot) curry powder, but used a mild blend in this dish as I felt it would benefit from a lighter flavor. Use your own preference and adjust the amount to suit your taste. I garnished with fresh cilantro to add some color, but also ended up really enjoying the flavor it added. The original recipe does not give any chill time, but I think it tastes more balanced after some time in the fridge. -Adapted from Gourmet

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups water
1 3/4 cups chicken broth (I skipped and just used water to cook the breasts)
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain yogurt
5 teaspoons curry powder (or to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium red onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 (3/4 lb) firm-ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1/2 cup salted roasted cashews, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring water and chicken broth to a simmer in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan.
  • Add chicken and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, cover pan, then let stand until chicken is cooked through (about 15 minutes).
  • Move chicken to a plate, let cool 10 minutes, then chop into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • While chicken is cooling, whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, curry, lime juice, honey, ginger, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Add chicken, onion, mango, grapes, and cashews; gently stir to combine.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
  • If you don't have celery on hand, you can substitute with finely diced red onion or bell pepper.
