Curried Chicken Salad Recipe

Curry Mayonnaise

vegetable oil

yellow onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)

curry powder (Madras, if you can find it)

mayonnaise (I recommend Hellman’s)

mango chutney

lime juice

salt

chicken

onion,

whole pepper corns

cloves

bay leaf

Poach the chicken

Place breasts in a large deep pot. Add cold water to 1 inch above the chicken. Add onion, pepper corns, cloves and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Quickly lower to an extremely low simmer &#8211; no bubbling at all &#8211; and cook, uncovered, for 10-14 minutes. Check for doneness after ten minutes by slicing into the thickest piece to make sure there&#8217;s no pink color. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cut into bite-size cubes or shred. Cool chicken in the fridge, covered, until you&#8217;re ready to use it.

Curried Mayonnaise

While the chicken is poaching, heat oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and sauté 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft (don&#8217;t let it brown) Add curry powder to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool. When curry and onions are cooled, mix with mayonnaise, chutney (or preserves), lime juice and salt in a small bowl. (can be stored, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Toss chicken with curried mayonnaise. Season with salt, to taste. (Curried chicken salad will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.)

I know...I had Kip Curry for years, born there and lived there till I married! Always make mine from scratch and it tastes amazing. So easy to do! I never ever add sweet things to mine, I do use some lemon juice to freshen it up and that's it.

I used to be able to get a version of this at a cafe near my house and it was one of my absolute favorite lunch items. Sadly the cafe closed down, but now I have your recipe that I can make for myself! :)

Great recipe! One of the best I've found for curried chicken salad.
I actually marinate and grill, or fry, the chicken beforehand with garlic and herb seasonings. It gives it a nice taste and crispness. I've used jalapeño apricot jam in the past. It's a nice twist, depending on how much spice you like! I'll also throw some dried cranberries and cilantro in it to give it a tasty kick. 
Thanks for posting this recipe!

I have made this recipe and it is absolutely incredible!  May I suggest that you try the recipe as written and poach the chicken because it truly makes a world of difference!  The first time I made it I used a rotisserie chicken and it was still quite good, but once I poached the chicken, I will never make it any other way.  I have however used fat free yogurt and Greek yogurt in place of the mayo and the taste is still amazing just less fat grams.  Truly a fantastic dish!

This is the most awesome curried chicken recipe  Many thanks for my whole family. Merci encore

This recipe is perfect! Cooking the spices really makes a difference! This was absolutely amazing on a croissant with a little leaf lettuce.

So unbelievably delicious!!!! I love this as a wrap. A great go to to bring to work!

I didn’t have any chutney but used some fog preserves. So good.

Just made this for a client's luncheon &amp; it is so good I immediately started a batch for myself! I used the apricot preserves.

I don’t do reviews very often but this is worthy of that. I have made it twice now and it is so yummy!! Thank you!
