Lynda Reeves’ Favourite Curried Chicken Salad Recipe
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2: Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, just until the juices run clear and meat is slightly pink next to the bone. When cool enough to handle, remove skin and bones. Chop chicken into approximately 1/2″ cubes. Core and chop apples into 1/2″ pieces. Remove “threads” from celery and chop in the same way.
Step 3: Make dressing by mixing all ingredients from cumin through mayonnaise. Combine thoroughly.
Step 4: Add the dressing to the chicken mixture 1/4 cup at a time, depending on how spicy you like it.
Step 5: If serving on a platter, scatter lettuce leaves on plate, arrange slices of papaya and mango on top, and mound chicken salad in the centre. Scatter grape tomatoes around the base of the greens. Serve with best-quality crusty bread.
