Curried Chicken Salad

If you don’t have a toaster (like me), get your broiler going. Gather all of your ingredients and get yourself set up. Having everything set out before you start will make is easier for you, trust me.

If you’re going to get a little crazy like me, heat up some chicken stock (or broth) in the microwave and let your raisins take a soak for about 10 or 15 minutes. If you’re not a little crazy, don’t. Discard the liquid when they’re done soaking.

If you’re using the broiler, pop those slices of bread in, but keep an eye on them. Nothing worse than scraping burnt toast. If your a toaster using human, you know what to do.

Dice your chicken and drop it into a large bowl. On to the red onion. Dice it then drop it in. Add your mayo, your walnuts (toasted or otherwise), raisins and seasonings. If you want some heat, but not too much, go easy on the crushed red pepper flakes. We like spicy food so I knew the 1/2 teaspoon would be fine. Mix it up, give it a taste. We don’t like too much mayo, you may. Adjust to your heart’s desire.

Time to assemble! My hubs likes spinach, I prefer lettuce. I piled his sandwich high with spinach, mine with romaine. Slice it on the diagonal (‘cause it’s prettier that way), and you’re all set!
