4 Videos | Photo: Curried Chicken Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise (recommended: Hellman's)
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup chutney (recommended: Major Grey's)
- 3 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 cup medium-diced celery (2 large stalks)
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 cup whole roasted, salted cashews
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice the chicken into large bite-size pieces.
For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.

I kept sneaking tastes of the sauce while I waited for the chicken to cook - it is that good.

I love Ina's recipes and have almost always had much success with following the recipe exactly as is. Most other recipes (I think go very light on seasoning, but hers tend to hit pretty close to my liking. And my family members, as well.
For this recipe, I didn't have any white wine on hand and didn't feel like going to the store, so I used champagne instead. haha, no I don't usually have champagne in my fridge, but we fell asleep before midnight on New Year's Eve, so there you go. Anyway I added about a quarter cup of finely diced red onion and omitted the raisins (family members are raisin-haters, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. AMAZING! Yet another keeper for my recipe go-to box.
Thanks, Ina!
Just amazing.
