Curried Chicken Salad

Yikes! I've been gone awhile. So sorry. Life gets busy at times. :)
Today I want to share one of my husband's all-time favorite recipes. He requests it all the time and has told me more than once that I can make it once a week if I want to. LOL. If you like curry and you eat chicken, you'll love this recipe.

Ingredients you'll need: 

3 cups cooked and cubed chicken breasts

1 medium apple, finely chopped

1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

2 T. golden raisins

2 T. dried cranberries

1/2 fat-free plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup apricot preserves

2 T. curry powder

1 T. Dijon mustard

1/2 t. salt

1/4 to 1/2 t. pepper

lettuce leaves OR rice (whichever one you'd like to serve the curried salad on)

Directions and Ramblings:

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. 

(This particular day, I was getting lunch ready early and in stages around my little guy's play time, nap time, etc. I put the ingredients together, covered the container and stuck it in the fridge til later. I saved the apple to chop just shortly before I was ready for the final prep so that it wouldn't turn brown.)

While my little guy was sleeping, I pre-mixed the spices and set out the non-refrigerated items I would need.

After the little guy's nap and shortly before the bigger guys got home from their workout, I finally got around to mixing those first five ingredients. :) Everything happens in short increments these days. LOL. Any other moms out there relating to this? 

Add the yogurt, preserves, curry mustard, salt and pepper; toss to coat. 

Serve on lettuce leaves or rice. 

One of these days, if I ever get to my own home again (sigh), I'm going to have to re-take all these final pictures so they look prettier. The rented condo dishes just aren't doing it for me. :)

Hope you like the recipe! It's so fast and easy to make and so, so tasty! This recipe serves 4. However, I normally double it because it makes awesome leftovers and my husband goes through it so fast. :)

Let me know how you like it if you try it!
