FoodieCrush Magazine Curried Chicken Salad

Craving > 5 Updated Chicken Salad Recipes

Chicken Salad. It can so easily go so wrong and seem trite, the catch-all recipe for the catered office lunch or duty-calls bridal shower. But by adding an unexpected and flavorful ingredient, chicken salad can be oh-so-divine.

FoodieCrush Magazine Curried Chicken Salad

Here’s my take on Chicken Salad, crunchy with celery and toasted almonds then sweetened up with sliced grapes and earthed up with curry and tarragon. Served on big old slices of hearty wheat bread, this is one version that has full-fledged-flavored. I add a lot more celery to this recipe than listed below because I like the crunch, so follow the recipe as is or adapt to your own cravings.

Curried Chicken Salad with Toasted Almonds and Grapes

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in chicken breasts with skin
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes halved
  • 1/3 cup almond slivers toasted
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 T orange juice
  • 1 1/2 T curry powder
  • 1 1/2 T fresh tarragon chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

FoodieCrush Magazine Plum Pie Chicken Salad Sandwichphoto > Plum Pie

Plum Pie’s crunchy –thanks to the pecans and apple– and sweetly tart –thanks to the cranberries and tangy Greek yogurt— Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad is light and even healthy, and is a hit with the savory twist thanks to Brooke’s addition of rosemary.

Studded with some of cooking’s most under-used herbs of caraway (one of my favorites when sauteed with cabbage) and anise seeds and a touch of cumin, Skinny Gourmet‘s Irish Chicken Salad Sandwich on Soda Bread is deliciously sandwiched between slices of her husband’s family recipe for Irish Soda Bread. Looks like she now has another family recipe to hand down.

  • Why go same-same when you could go ho-ho-holiday and create a festive and creative Christmas themed appetizer?!? I made this antipasto Christmas wreath for a holiday party 4 years ago and was reminded of it when I saw @delallofoods Antipasti Holiday Wreath contest where (3) lucky winners will receive $200 worth of DeLallo product. Since I partner with them on recipes here and on the blog I prob can't win but still tagging @delallofoods #DeLalloEats & #contest just in case I can! Contest ends Dec. 17 so be like me and go back to the Xmas time machine or make a new antipasto wreath for your weekend party and enter too. More info at @delallofoods #ad
  • Here's the easiest way to add a twist to serving salad + antipasti to your party people—give it to them served up on a platter. Half appetizer, half first course, it's one complete dish where everyone can dig in and fend for that last artichoke heart or blue cheese stuffed olive for themselves. Link in bio, just search "antipasto".
  • Literally punch drunk in love. Bubbly champagne, pom juice, OJ and a Grand Marnier floater with holiday flave DIY frozen ice cubes met and married to become the party favorite. Can I get a yes I'll have another, please fill up my cup? And for all the non-boozey party people, it can easily be made non-alcoholic too.

  • It’s a proven fact that everyone at the party loves a cheese board. It’s the centerpiece of nibbles and bites and small talk to break the party ice. But when you add a little heat to make a bubbly, oozey brie cheese dip, the party vibe definitely ratchets up a notch. This one's topped with cranberries, pecans, fig jam and thyme and IT'S SO DANG EASY! Recipe link in my profile https://www.foodiecrush.com/easy-baked-brie-recipe/

  • This chicken cacciatore is literally fall off the bone tender. It's a humble chicken in an amazing sauce from @skinnytaste ‘s Fast & Slow cookbook that somehow doesn't call for any special ingredients to get it's amazing taste. And since t's cooked in the slow cooker, you can prep it then pop it in the cooker and go about your day, or make and serve for Christmas Eve.

  • Each and every Christmas morning of of my 29+ years 😂, I’ve had this cheesy ham, egg and bread casserole we assemble the night before and then bake on Christmas morn. It's so special that it only appears on Christmas morning, and not any other time of year because it is in all it's glory, just that special.
