Curried Chicken Salad
This delicious Curried Chicken Salad is packed full of tender chicken, crunchy almonds, celery, sautéed onions and sweet grapes. After one bite of this chicken salad, you are going to be making this chicken salad again and again. It's that good!
Ingredients
- 1 Pound chicken breasts cooked and shredded (or chopped)
- ½ Large onion small diced
- As Needed oil any neutral tasting oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ¾ to 1 Teaspoon salt *see note
- To Taste pepper
- 2 Stalks celery small diced (about 1 ½ cups)
- 3 oz mayo or ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons
- ½ Cup red grapes chopped
- ¼ Cup sliced almonds toasted
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl add in the cooked, cooled and shredded chicken.
- In a small pan over medium-low heat add in a drizzle of oil. Once hot add in the onions and sauté until soft and lightly browned. Stir in 1 teaspoon of curry powder, cook for 30 seconds then remove from the heat. Add to the bowl with the chicken.
- Once the chicken and onion mixture is completely cooled stir in the celery, grapes, mayo, remaining seasonings and almonds. Mix until fully combined. (If meal prepping, wait to add the almonds until you are ready to serve the chicken salad.)
- Adjust the seasonings if needed. Chill or serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
If your curry powder contains salt you may need to adjust the amount of salt in the recipe.
