Curried Chicken Salad

November 17, 2010 by Julie 17 Comments

Two-ingredient crock pot chicken is so versatile. With a big bowl full of moist, shredded chicken ready to go after cooking in the crock pot all day, the uses for the meat are endless.

Two of my favorite ways to use the chicken are in buffalo chicken and BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches. Though I typically default to stand by recipes when it comes to the two-ingredient pulled chicken, tonight I decided to try something a little different.

Enter curried chicken salad! curried chicken salad 017

I made the salad by combining the following:

  • Two pulled chicken breasts
  • Light Miracle Whip (Mayo will also work)
  • Sweet Relish
  • Chopped carrot
  • Chopped celery
  • Ginger
  • Curry powder

I served the curried chicken salad in a red pepper and dug in! curried chicken salad 032 curried chicken salad 027This was a totally random experiment that fortunately turned out really well. I gobbled it up!

I’m off to mess with Sadie… She’s in an extra chipper mood tonight!

    Mmm. That looks good. I’m going to try a veggie version of that, substituting mashed chick peas for the chicken. And funny coincidence, I had almost the same dessert tonight, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in my case.

    That looks so good! I’ve never tried curry before. So I’d be nervous to taste it but the chicken salad looks delicious!

    I’m not a chicken salad fan, but I love the pepper idea. I’ll have to serve tuna salad in there the next time I have it.
