Curried Chicken and Rice Salad

"This is a recipe from the same friend who gave me Recipe #294245. Before I ate it at her house, I never would have thought I would enjoy this, but it is a meal I make frequently now. I do make some substitutions to make it easier to assemble (canned peas, etc.). Don't be quick to leave out the raisins, though, as they make a big difference in my opinion. Preparation time does not including cooling time. ***This recipe is better when it is made a day ahead.***"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was raised on southern cooking, but over the past few years, I have been looking for more healthy ways to eat. As a result, some of my recipes are healthy and some aren't. <br> <br>I am usually just cooking for myself, so I am especially interested in recipes that can be made for single servings or easily refrigerated/frozen for later. <br> <br>I am a teacher, and on weekends I try to make something that I can take for lunch the following week (something that won't be boring by Friday!) so that I can just grab it and go each weekday morning. <br> <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
