Re: Tropical Curried Chicken Salad

This curried chicken salad is delicious. I make it when I am preparing chicken soup. Instead of buying chicken breasts, I buy a whole chicken. After an hour in boiling water I remove all the good meat and after it cools I use it for this chicken salad.

It is the chicken that keeps on giving.

Re: Tropical Curried Chicken Salad

Today I wanted something different. I found this recipe and had all the ingredients but mango. So I gave it a try and instead of mango I used a whole papaya and it was great. The tropical chicken salad was simple to make and tasted sweet and creamy. It was an unexpected delight.
