If you are like me then you look for recipes of things to make that DO NOT involve the oven in this crazy heat! This is a recipe that will keep you coming back for more - I promise. Cory thinks the sliced almond are what set it apart. I just think it is easy, creamy and yummy.
Ingredients:
1 Whole Chicken (I prefer to use 5-6 chicken breast)
2 Gallons of water (a little less if using chicken breast)
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 sticks of celery (2 sticks chopped)
3/4 cups sliced almonds
1 cup seedless grapes (white or red)
Base:
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup soy sauce
Directions:
In a large pot place your water and chicken along with 1 stick of celery, curry powder, salt and pepper. Boil for 1 hour if using whole chicken and boil for about 30 minutes if using the chicken breasts. While your chicken is cooking prepare the base. In a large bowl combine the mayonnaise, curry powder and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly. Next, remove the chicken from the pot, debone (if needed) and cut into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine the base, chicken, chopped celery, almonds and grapes. Stir until completely coated and chill immediately. Ready to serve in about 2 hours and will serve about 6 people.
Now, I am not a huge fan of celery so I put a little less in mine and I love grapes so I put MORE grapes in mine. It is delicious on any type of bread or even a salad!
And because everyone loves a picture...here is a picture of it from my phone! It never stays around long enough for me to remember to take a real picture.
It is delish. Enjoy and stay cool.
