This was a good recipe. I used a cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, so I probably had more chicken than the recipe called for and I did not use all of the dressing. I substituted grated carrot for the celery since I do not like celery and it was very good.
Delicious

Very good, but the curry stains everything! Makes a lot of sauce, so you can use some of it and save the rest for another batch.
different and delicious

I was a little nervous about making this, but it sounded so interesting, I had to make it. Like others have mentioned, the recipe calls for way too much sauce (I had about 1/2 of the sauce leftover) and I used dried currants instead of the raisins. I thought it might be too much curry powder, but once the chicken salad mellowed out in the refrigerator for a while, the flavors settled down and it was great. There are all sorts of different curry powders out there, so that may be why some people did not like this. I used the Spice Hunter curry seasoning blend and it was very tasty.
Amazing!

And....she only uses a bit of the dressing. If you look closely, she's got about 1/2 or less of it left in the food processor bowl that she puts back on the processor so yes, it only takes a bit of the dressing. Not sure why she made so much. In any case, delicious!

This is one of the best chicken salad recipes that I've tasted. I like it as a salad with pita chips and with fruit. The combination of the Chutney,green onions and cashews along with the curry are excellent! I made the following changes: cut the Mayo back to 1 cup and the white wine to 1/4 cup
Absolutely Delicious!

Like all of Ina's recipes, I found this one precise, easy to make if you follow directions, and absolutely divine! I had it by itself, not in a wrap, but works great over a plain salad as to not overpower the delicious taste. Tip, little more dressing than needed - so either make more chicken or save the dressing to pour over something else - or use as a dip for fresh veggies. Thank you, again, Ian!!!!
Yuck.

I did not care for this recipe at all. My family didn't either. I've never used curry before and this just might be my last. I don't know if it was the type of curry I used, but I expected some spice or something and it was actually quite bland. I didn't use the chutney, nor the raisins, nor the cashews b/c that just doesn't sound good to me. I don't care for mixing fruit with savory. The rest of the mixture, was just odd. Both my husband and I ate a couple bites and opted to make turkey sandwiches for dinner. My 3 year old wouldn't even touch it once she saw the mixture. This is my 2nd recipe to make of Inas (the lemon cake was the 1st and OMG was it excellent) but I will not let this keep me from trying other recipes from her. Sorry Ina, but GROSS!!

I made this recipe for a "Valentine's Picnic" for my fiance. I didn't tell him what was in it until he absolutely raved about the wraps. He never would have eaten curry otherwise! The recipe makes a lot (especially for two people) but the leftovers are even better the next day. I will definitely make this again.

I decided to give this recipe a try because I happened to have a lot of the ingredients handy. I did cheat a bit on the chicken, though: instead of roasting bone-in chicken breasts, I did boneless, skinless chicken breasts on the George Foreman grill. It was still unbelievably tasty. Following other reviewers' suggestions, I altered the mayonnaise part of the recipe; I only used half a cup of mayo with half a cup of plain nonfat yogurt. It still made more dressing than was needed, took the calorie count down quite a bit, and I can't imagine that it tastes any different than with all the mayo. It still had amazing flavor and the consistency was just fine. (And this is coming from someone who is usually anti-"low-fat-alternative".) Also, I stuffed the curried chicken into whole-wheat pitas instead of wraps, and my husband and I both liked it that way (though I'm sure it's fine with wraps or on lettuce, too). I paired this with the panzanella from the same episode, and it made me wish we had company over so that I could show off these great dishes! Overall, this recipe is a winner that I will definitely make again.
Finally!!

I wish I had read the reviews prior to making this one because I agree that the amount of mayo could be reduced. What do I do about the saltiness factor? It's in my refrigerator as I write this!

User: Kim from Spokane, WA User Rating:
I watched the Beach Volleyball episode last night and was inspired to make the curry wraps and the panzanella. I agree with others who said the mayo amount in the recipe is way too much. I used 1 cup and still had too much dressing, but then again maybe it's because my breasts were small (LOL). Also, next time I'll cut the salt in the dressing down to 1/2 tsp, at most. The dressing was a bit too salty. I didn't use chutney or raisins (yuck), but this was still a great recipe. Would be fantastic for a summer party.

I had to concoct a substitute for chutney since the only varieties available at my grocery store contained ingredients my husband is allergic to. I also used dried cherries instead of raisons, and the breasts of a precooked chicken from the store deli. buying a chicken already cooked made prep for this dish super easy. I served these to guests who loved them. I will make this recipe again for sure.

I made this recipe for friends who are not curried chicken salad lovers, and they went wild! I did increase the amount of chutney to 1/2 cup, because I like a brighter contrast of sweet to curry. Also, I recommend using 1/4 cup Major Grey's Hot Mango Chutney for the additional chutney flavor. It adds a nice little "kick". This salad is great served on Bibb lettuce surrounded by apple slices - I like to use a local tart Vermont apple.

User: Serena from Guntersville, AL User Rating:
I made these for my husband's birthday party. I couldn't find chutney in my area, which is okay because I hate it. I also removed raisins from the recipe and substituted toasted almond slivers for cashews for personal preference reasons. The recipe turned out yummy, but I had a hard time getting them in the tortillas. I did manage and they were a hit for those who were not afraid of the curry stigma. I loved them but used less curry than called for because it seemed like a lot and I didn't have the chutney to cut the taste. Also, after a while, the flavor builds up on your pallet and it gets overwhelming, so this is not good for the main item of your meal. But I loved it and so did my husband!

I'm a big fan of stewed curried chicken, but I've seen Curried Chicken Salad on several menus over the past year or so and didn't think it would be this good! The flavors are great, if not a little strong for everyday. And I loved the idea of shredded v. cubed chicken - it definitely allows more of the sauce to adhere to the meat. Excellent.

For my tastes, the sweet curry as Ina suggested didn't have enough kick. I used 2 T. sweet and 1 T. hot, think next time I'll reverse the order. I also shredded a cut up chicken that I roasted per her instructions. The dark meat gave a moistness to the mix. The crunch from the celery and cashews added a great texture. As other reviewers have stated, you don't need all the sauce, but it makes a great extra to have on hand for other meals, or to use as dressing if you use the chicken for a salad.

These are delicious! There are many different tastes and textures that make them complex and elegant, while still simple and delicious. I took Diane's suggestion and used Golden Raisins, and followed the advice of several previous reviewers and reduced the mayo to a little less than 1 cup. I made no other changes. I made these, the panzanella, and the peanut butter and jelly bars also featured on this episode for a picnic/concert last night. Everyone loved it all and I had several inquiries about when I was opening my catering business. Thank you, Ina, for these GREAT recipes!

Overall, this recipe is wonderful. I don't think you need as much mayo as stated in the recipe. Also, mix the other ingredients well before you add the chicken because the shredded chicken tends to break down while mixing. Mine ended up looking a bit like tuna salad. I think chunks of shredded chicken is more appealing.

This recipe has my family addicted!! We've made wraps, salads, and well ate it out of the container it's so good. I read the reviews before preparing it and agree way to much mayo. I cut it back to 1cup like reviewers recommended, however, it could be cut back to 3/4cup. For those in the northeast, use Stonewall Kitchen's Old Farmhouse Chutney...it's outrageously good. Also, I use 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider or white wine vinegar in place of the 1/4 cup of dry white wine. It doesn't comprimise the flavor one bit. Cheers to Ina's chicken curry!!!

I used this recipe and Paula Deen's recipe for curry chicken salad as an inspiration for my own version. I used a whole rotisserie chicken(the sams club kind which is bigger than most grocery store versions)boned, and added cashews, green onions (chopped), water chestnuts (chopped), grapes (halved),celery (chopped),and raisins. For the dressing I eye-balled it using about a cup of mayo, half a lemon's juice, 1 tblsp. tamari (Japanese soy sauce), 1/2 jar Major Grey's chutney (about 1/2 cup), 2 tsp curry powder, salt and pepper to taste. I liked aspects of both recipes so this is what I came up with. I used to work in a specialty food grocery store in the deli, and we made a less exciting version of this salad. I used onion flavored pita pockets toasted and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it including myself, who has had it for the last 3 meals. Haha.

These hit the spot for my leftover turkey dinner. What a fabulous and refreshing lunch taste. I used miraclewhip light instead of the mayo and just eyed the amount and same with the curry. I ommitted the cashews and cut up some grannysmith apples instead. The was rated very high by my family and very simple to throw together at the last minute. I used less wine also to keep the dressing consistency more creamy. I love her!!
SOOO GOOD

This recipe was fantastic. I cut the wraps into several pieces and served them as a finger food for a party. They were a hit! I used curry PASTE instead of curry powder (same proportions) and it was great!
very good

I'm not a big sandwich person, so I'm always looking for a good lunch alternative. This is it! I made a double recipe for a picnic for 8 and everyone loved it. It was simple to prepare, and I know I'll use this recipe a lot in the years to come!!!!!

I loved this! I thin thereasn that some people had a problem with "too much mayonnaise" depends on where you purchase chicken breasts. The one's I get from Whole Food or HUGE. One half chicken breast is comparable nearly two halves(one whole) at other market's. Those free range chickens are so BIG. Love Ina, love the show margaret from mill valley, ca.
What a nice change for Chicken Salad!

Boy, this was delicious and unusual for your run of the mill chicken salad! I loved it, but read other reviews before making it and decreased the mayo down to 1 cup, and took the curry powder down by 1/3 as well. It was plenty on the wet side and might even use less mayo again next time. The chutney made it - what a delicious secret ingredient. Thanks so much - will make this one again and again!
This looks great! But what about the curry?

I am going to make this the end of the week, but I do not like spicy/hot foods. I've never used curry, is it hot?

I made this chicken salad yesterday and it was the best I've ever had. I couldn't find the exact chutney and substitued some relish for that but went by the recipe for everything else except I didn't put quite as much mayo. I can hardly wait to serve these at a Christmas party this year. Thanks for this recipe!

This recipe is listed as a medium difficulty; however, I found it very easy to make. All the flavors combined to create a very tasty salad. I used golden raisins and really liked the way they didn't stand out too much. Yummy!!!
Great Taste

The wraps were easy to make and they were delicious. My husband loved them!

This had way too much mayonnaise for me. I would use at least a third less in the future. I also added an extra tablespoon of curry powder, lots of freshly ground pepper, and red grapes. It definitely got better after a few hours in the refirgerator.
Outstanding sandwich!
