Time 45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
3 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 ½ cups slivered almonds, toasted
1 pound seedless green grapes, halved
2 cups chopped celery
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, thoroughly drained
paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large pot of lightly salted water, and bring to a boil; simmer until tender and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Drain, set aside. When cool enough to handle, chop coarsely, and place into a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together mayonnaise, curry powder, lemon juice, and soy sauce.
  • Stir into the chopped chicken 2 1/4 cups of the toasted almonds. Stir in grapes, celery, water chestnuts, and pineapple. Gently fold in all but 1/2 cup of the dressing. Cover, and refrigerate salad and reserved dressing for several hours (or overnight).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful curry powder are all essential.
  • 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 prefer a more intense flavor, add more.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Let the salad cool completely before assembling the cups. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be easier to handle.
  • If you don't have wonton wrappers, you can use puff pastry or even tortillas to make the cups.
  • Garnish the cups with fresh herbs or vegetables for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

These Mini Curried Chicken Salad Cups are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of flavors in the salad is simply irresistible, and the wonton cups add a fun and unique touch. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these Mini Curried Chicken Salad Cups a try. You won't be disappointed!
