What’s inside this Curry Chicken Salad Recipe

Chicken – Be sure to use 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 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 salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix the dressing well before adding any other ingredients.
