Curry Chicken Salad
Recipe Notes
A favorite entrée served at Green Mountain is something called a Tri-Salad Plate.
The star of that combo is the Curry Chicken Salad.
Ingredients:
Salt and White Pepper
Skinless, boneless Chicken Breast 1.5 lb
Mayonnaise 0.5 cup (I used Light Hellman’s)
Nonfat Plain Yogurt 0.5 cup
Curry Powder 2 tsp
White Wine Vinegar 1 Tbsp
Celery 4 stalks chopped
Apples (Fuji, Gala, or Granny Smith) 3 cored and cut into cubes
Pecan halves, 0.5 cup toasted
Butter (Boston) Lettuce 1 head, pale inner leaves only
Directions:
- Poach the chicken.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat.
- Add 1/2 tsp salt and the chicken, reduce the heat until the water is barely simmering, and cook until opaque throughout (8-10 min).
- Remove from heat and let stand until cool enough to handle.
- Cut into bite size cubes.
- Make the dressing.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, curry powder, vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper until smooth.
- Assemble the salad.
- Add the chicken, celery, apples, and half of the pecans to the dressing and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the lettuce on plates and top with the chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle with the remaining pecans and serve.
Yields 8 Servings.
