Recipe: Curried Chicken Salad From Leftover Roasted Chicken

Recipe: Curried Chicken Salad From Leftover Roasted Chicken post image

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:

    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!

    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.

      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.

    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 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?
