I prepared a big batch of this curries chicken salad at the beginning of the week for my lunches at work. Then, throughout the week I used it to make sandwiches, used it as a dip with crackers, topped it with sliced avocado, put it over some brown rice... Essentially it's a good base to jazz up for a delicious and healthy meal.
Ingredients:
1 whole roasted 2-lb. chicken
1 celery stalk small diced
1/3 cup raisins roughly chopped
1/3 cup roasted almonds or pecans roughly chopped
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
1/2 teaspoon tumeric powder
1/4 cup mayonaise (add more if desired)
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1) Remove all of the meat from the bone of the roasted chicken and cut it into small chunks roughly the size of a nickel.
2) In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients (including the chicken) and stir to combine. Eat immediately or refrigerate and use within a week.
**I reserved the bones from the roasted chicken and made stock out of it by boiling it for several hours in about 6 cups of water along with salt, pepper, herbs like parsley and dill, chopped carrots, onions and celery.
