About Smart Chicken
For this recipe, I used Smart Chicken’s organic boneless skinless chicken breasts. If you’re new to the Healthyish community, then you should know that Smart Chicken is the reason I started eating meat again after 9 years.
Smart Chicken is raised and processed with attention to detail every step of the way. Their chickens are fed a high-quality diet, humanely handled, and never given antibiotics, hormones, or animal by-products. All Smart Chicken is pure air chilled, without added water. The result is the best-tasting, highest-quality fresh chicken on the market.
Recipe Ingredients
Chicken – You’ll need boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. Boil a pot of water and cook the chicken for 15 minutes or until the center reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the water, allow it to cool, and cube it into bite-sized pieces.
Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs – For this recipe, you’ll want to use white or yellow onion, celery, and seedless red grapes. Gently fold the grapes in at the end so they do not break apart. Top the chicken salad with toasted almonds, green onion, and fresh cilantro.
Dressing – Combine 0% Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, yellow curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, and kosher salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix the dressing well before adding any other ingredients.

This was super easy and delicious. My husband doesn’t love curry the way I do, but he still really enjoyed it. I left out the cumin (do not care for it) and used 2 tap of curry. Thanks for the great recipe! Will double next time!
