Curried Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I absolutely love curried chicken salad. Curry is one of my favorite spices. I love the fact that it’s salty from the Dijon mustard and the mayonnaise, and then you get a burst of sweetness from the apples and the raisins.
Ingredients -
2 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, diced)
2 Stalks Celery (diced)
1 Medium Carrot (peeled, finely chopped)
3/4 Cup Golden Raisins
2/3 Cup Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1/4 Teaspoons Sea Salt
1/8 Teaspoons Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
1 1/2 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves (sliced in half horizontally)
2 Teaspoons Curry Powder
1 Loaf Sliced Pumpernickel Bread
1 Head Green Leaf Lettuce (separated into leaves)
 
Preparation:

1. Mix together celery, raisins, apples, and carrot in a large bowl.

2. Whisk together the dressing, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl until mixed together.

3. In a skillet, pour enough water to reach a depth of 1 inch.

4. Bring to a simmer.

5. Add the chicken and poach until it reaches 170 which is approximately 10 minutes.

6. Remove the chicken and put on a plate.

7. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

8. In a skillet, toast the curry powder for 2 minutes or until it becomes fragrant.

9. Stir the toasted curry powder into the mayonnaise mixture.

10. Dice the cooled chicken pieces.

11. Add the chicken along with the mayonnaise curry mixture to the apple mixture.

12. Fold together until all ingredients are coated.

13. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.

14. When you are ready to serve just make the sandwiches with the chicken salad bread and some lettuce.

 



Cooking Tip
Mayonnaise
Use whatever mayonnaise you already have in the house. You don’t’ have to run out to the store and buy reduced fat mayonnaise if you already have some in the refrigerator. Don’t spend money if you don’t have to. Better to be economical.

Cooking Tip
Pumpernickel Bread
If you aren’t fond of Pumpernickel bread go ahead and use any type of bread you like. My favorite type of bread is Artisan bread. I love anything hard and crusty like Italian so go ahead and change it up and use whatever you have around the house.
