Shredded Curry Chicken Salad Recipe
- 1 organic rotisserie Chicken
- 2 Tb Curry Powder
- 3 Tb Chosen Foods Mayo
- 4 Tb Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 cup Trader Joes Thai lime & chili cashews
- 2 Tb fresh Basil sliced
Chicken Salad Directions
- Remove all meat off the chicken and place in Kitchen Aid mixer with the paddle attachment to shred or you can hand shred with two forks.
- Place all ingredients except cashews and basil in a separate bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken and stir until evenly combined.
- Chop cashews into small pieces to have in each bite.
- Slice basil into thin strips.
- You can pour cashews into bowl and stir to combine or you can top you individual portions with the cashews and basil. This can be up to you. I personally like to add the cashews and basil to each portion right before eating. This keeps the cashews crunchy and the basil fresh and ensures I will have enough in each portion.
This recipe is super simple and easy to put together but really packs a punch of flavor. It allows for you to have a flavorful, protein packed meal and feel satisfied with all the textures, flavors and goodness in each bite.
