What’s Different About this Curry Chicken Salad?
Regular Chicken Salad recipes have mostly the same ingredients. You’ll have your chicken, grapes, celery, and almonds. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good chicken salad sandwich. This is my go-to recipe for the classic!
But sometimes, you just want to switch things up and try something new! That’s what this Curry Chicken Salad is all about!
The curry alone gives this recipe a fun, new flavor but I also love adding apples and cucumbers for added sweetness and crunch. I also love using cashews rather than almonds to compliment the curry flavor nicely.
It will be perfect for your next baby shower, bridal shower, or springtime event!
CAN I USE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN FOR THIS CHICKEN SALAD?
Absolutely, Yes!
If you don’t want to go through the process of cooking your own chicken breast or happen to have leftover rotisserie chicken, go ahead and chop it up and use it in this recipe.
You will want roughly two cups of cubed or shredded chicken for this recipe.
You could also use canned chicken if you don’t mind using canned ingredients too.
