Sometimes that Slow Roasted Chicken is well over 6 pounds and way too much for a family of three. It’s not as savory eaten cold and even eating some for lunch the next day does not use it all. What to do? Make it into a great tasting chicken salad that will please even those picky eaters. This recipe works great for left over white meat that can become a little dry. In my house, they do not like the dark meat, but hidden in the chicken salad they gobble it up!
Curried Chicken Salad
Ingredients
Leftover pieces of white and dark meat chicken (how to make a slow roasted chicken)
2 stalks of organic celery chopped up small (please use organic celery — it’s number two on the dirty dozen list)
2 heaping tablespoons (or more) homemade mayonnaise (how to make mayonnaise)
1 teaspoon mustard
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon organic curry powder (where to buy spices)
a little fresh or dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (where to buy sea salt)
Instructions
- Chop up the pieces of chicken into small chunks
- Combine with the chopped celery
- Add the mayonnaise
- Add the curry and salt
- Mix it all together and garnish with fresh parsley
Serve with:
- Slices of Coconut Flour Bread (see video and recipe)
- Rolled up in Coconut Flour Crepes (see video and recipe)
- On top of a fresh salad
- Plain

Yum! I love different takes on classic chicken salad. My husband likes nuts in his, so I imagine I would add cashew to this recipe. Thanks for the inspiration!
Sounds great Jill. I never thought of putting curry into my chicken salad, but you make it sound good!
That looks so delicious. Cannot wait to try it. Come visit us today. We have the best crockpot chicken recipe on the menu!
I always put curry on my chicken salad. It’s a great combo. Probably yummy on chicken salad too. Actually, now that I think of it, good curry is great with just about anything. I’m a big curry fan.
Oops, I meant I put it on my egg salad.
Hi Ruth,
Curry on egg salad sounds wonderful. I’ll try that next time I make it!
I love a good curried chicken salad and I just happen to have quite a bit of left over roasted chicken from the other night. I think we’re going to have a lovely lunch today.
sounds delicious
I make a roasted chicken with a curry yogurt dipping sauce. This is a great idea as well! I typically make my chicken salad with dill, celery, and onions. I will have to try this next time!
I’ve been loving curry lately. This sounds absolutely divine! I can’t wait to try it.
What a GREAT recipe! Would you come over to Cast Party Wednesday and share it with us?
Thanks,
I hope to see you there!

P.S. Your pin button wasn’t working. I added it to our pin board, but I wanted to let you know in case it is something you can fix at your level.
I am dairy and egg free due to allergy the time being. I am a yr into gaps diet and still have problems with dairy and eggs. I am desperate to find a substitute for mayo so I can enjoy salads like this (and tuna). Does anyone have any ideas?
Okay…we love chicken…we love curry. Need I say more. Will be definitely try this.
