Curried Chicken Salad

Summer go-to salad. You start by roasting 3 whole chicken breasts (bone-in, skin on) in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, or use the rotisserie chicken for quicker prep. Original recipe from Ina Garten Barefoot Contessa.

Start to finish (using rotisserie chicken): 10 minutes to prep chicken, 10 minutes to put salad together.

  • 1/4 cup chutney
  • 3 T curry powder
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)

  3. Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well.
  4. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well.
