Curry Chicken Salad....

I may be a little late for the Summer Season menu...but a fresh eclectic spin on chicken salad had to be entered before September made it. Yes chicken salad! And not that icky, wet calorie pile, over priced at the deli, stuff your grandma used to make.

Curry Chicken Salad

Broiled or Grilled Cooked chicken breast
Small Box of Raisins (2 to 3 tablespoons)
Light Mayo or Regular
Whole Grain Sliced Bread
Honey
Curry Powder
Chicken Seasoning

Lettuce/Tomato for garnish.

Chop Chicken breast in 1 or 2 inch cubes. Mix chicken, 1/4 cup of honey, raisins, curry powder, and 1 teaspoon or season to taste with chicken seasoning....hell you can even add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Now here's the decision you have to make: whether to mayo your bread or just mix it in the darn chicken salad. It's your choice...either way...it'll work.

Remember good cooking is about improvising. That's the fun....

Oh yeah...chill the chicken salad mix for at least two hours...then slap it on the good for you "whole grain" bread with the
L &T and you have a winner.
