#Food Friday - #Curried #Chicken #Salad

by Thea Mangels

Today's recipe is so tasty.  My mother is the author of this one.

Ingredients:

• 3 or 4 boiled or poached chicken breasts
• Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Indian curry paste (mom recomends Patak's)
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 chopped apple or mango (optional)
• fresh chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup mango chutney (or apricot or pinapple jam)
• 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, pressed or finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 fresh chopped jalapeno (optional)

Prep:

1.  Chop your cooked chicken into very small pieces.
2.  Chop onion and cilantro.  You want about 1/2 onion for 4 chicken breasts and a smallish bunch of cilantro (to taste).  If using apple or mango, chop those too.  Use no more than 1/2 fruit to start with, as they will add sweetness to the salad and change the texture. 
3. Throw all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl.
4. Add your Greek yogurt - probably about 4 tablespoons.  
5. Add curry, garlic, salt, and chutney or jam and jalapenos if using them.  
6. Stir all ingredients together and taste.  You may wish to add more salt, garlic, fruit, jam or curry.  

Serve atop a fresh green salad with curried vinaigrette or use as a sandwich filling, or use as a pro9tien rich dip for fresh veggies.
