Photo: Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients
Dressing:
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup commercial chutney
- 3 tablespoons mild curry powder
Sandwich:
- 6 bone-in chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup dark raisins
- 3/4 cups finely chopped celery
- 4 croissants
Directions
To make the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise with the chutney and the curry powder in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
To prepare the sandwiches: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper then put them in a large skillet. Add water to cover. Put a lid on the skillet and simmer the chicken until it is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. When the chicken is chilled remove the skin and cut the meat from the bones. Dice the meat and place it in a large bowl. Add the walnuts, raisins, and celery and mix well. Moisten the salad with the curry dressing. Cut the croissants in half. Fill each with chicken salad and serve.

Definately a new favorite in our household of picky eaters. My family just learned that spices make food good, and with only three tablespoons of curry powder, it's a great introduction to our simple palates. My 14 month old daughter loved the curried chicken! Like many others, I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. And I also added about 1/4 cup chopped onion for additional flavor and texture. Thanks so much for the recipe!

I made this recipe because I wanted to try a change from my regular chicken salad. It was fantastic. I did use boneless skinless chicken breats & I did not have the chutney in my pantry though so I sub'd it with orange marmalade and it was just heavenly. I served it over a bed of fresh greens and delicate crackers. I will be making this recipe often. A+++++ all the way. Thanx Food Network.
