Description

This chicken salad is so easy to make, looks pretty and packs a ton of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Rotisserie Chicken
  • 2 stalks Celery
  • 3 whole Green Onions
  • 1 whole Carrot
  • ¼ cups Mango Chutney
  • ½ cups Mayonnaise
  • ½ cups Canned Mandarin Oranges
  • 2 teaspoons Curry Powder

Preparation

Take the meat off the bone of the chicken; chop or shred. Finely chop celery and green onion. Julienne the carrot. You could use a peeler, grater or mandoline slicer. The idea is to get small, thin pieces of carrot.

Combine chicken, veggies and the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Chill and serve.

Notes:
This recipe can be made into a spicy salad by adding more curry, plus some cumin, chili powder and or cayenne pepper.
1/4 cup raisins, grapes, walnuts, almond slivers or chopped apples make nice additions to this salad.
If you don’t have mango chutney, apricot jam works just fine.

Awesome recipe. Also used light mayo, apricot preserves and poached a boneless skinless breast to keep it healthy. I added halved red grapes, slivered almonds and a little cooled orzo. YUM!

This recipe is delicious! Made this pregnant mama very happy for lunch today! I put it in a pita pocket. I used miracle whip light instead of mayo and apricot jam instead of mango chutney. I also added almond slivers and tomorrow I want to add raisins! Thanks for a great lunch idea! This is a keeper.

OMG! loved this chicken salad. I didn’t change anything in the recipe, and we ate it on croissants.

Great healthy recipe. I also poached my chicken because the rotisserie chickens are typically loaded with fat and salt. Added slivered almonds, halved red grapes and some orzo for a delicious take to work light lunch. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Good job!

Great recipe and very easy to make! I poached some chicken tenderloins instead of using a roasted chicken. I found the salad needed salt and pepper (perhaps as a result of bland chicken).
