Major Grey Chutney Chicken Salad Recipes

CHUTNEY CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper; place in a large skillet and add 1/2 inch of water. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat until chicken is opaque throughout, 15 to 20 minutes; remove chicken from skillet. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken with fingers, discarding skin and bones; chill until room temperature.
• In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, chutney, and mustard.
• Add chicken, scallions, and raisins; season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice the chicken into large bite-size pieces.
• For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
• Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until chutney sauce has turned brown and crunchy.

MANGO CHUTNEY CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• If using yogurt in place of mayo, you must drain it or it will be way to watery (perhaps you could use Greek style yogurt without draining). I use a fine mesh sieve lined with about 3 layers of paper towels. Add about 1.5 cups of yogurt to end up with a cup of drained yogurt. Allow it to drain for at least an hour - you'll be surprised how much water comes out - and how thick the yogurt gets!
• Combine chutney and mayo or yogurt in small bowl, set aside.
• Cook rice according to instructions (This will be about 1 cup of uncooked brown rice, maybe a little more. Don't worry if it's not exactly 2 cups.).
• Chop the pecans and toast them - either put them on a baking sheet and place them in the oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant or do it on the stove top in a frying pan.
• Chop the apple and place in large bowl, the one you will put the whole salad in, and add the juice of the half lemon (just put something on the apples so they don't turn brown).
• Chop the celery, green onions. Dump them in with the apples.
• Optional: half or slice the grapes - I leave them whole, I think they're nice that way. Dump them in the bowl.
• Cut up and cook chicken breasts. Again, you could bake these, boil them, cook them on the stove top, whatever floats your boat. I just put some salt and pepper on them and throw them in a frying pan. Dump this in the bowl.
• Add the mayo/yogurt and chutney mixture and stir to combine.
• Refrigerate before serving (if you can wait that long). The flavors will develop over time. Nice cold or at room temperature.

MAJOR GREY CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Fry onion in oil until translucent but not brown. Whisk in curry powder. Cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in pureed chutney and the cream. Add salt to taste.
• Saute sliced chicken breast in a small amount of oil until cooked halfway through, about 3 minutes. Add sauce and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Garnish with green onions and serve.
• This is great served over jasmine or basmati rice.
