Curried Chicken Salad With Raisins and Honey image

What to do with leftover chicken? This recipe is from my heros at America's Test Kitchens. Since the chicken was already cooked, it was just a matter of putting together the sauce, which takes only minutes. I used dried cranberrys in place of the raisins. We used the salad in pita bread. Now I'm posting for safekeeping and to provide an option to everyone else asking what to do with leftover chicken. I'm posting the instructions as published in Cook's magazine, which include cooking the chicken.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would add more curry powder and salt next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I really enjoyed this salad. The curry powder is used sparingly, so it doesn't overpower the other flavors.
