Great chicken salad! The apricot jam with the curry was a great blend. I omitted the salt (personal preference) and served over greens. Thanks for sharing! ZWT7

This is a fantastic chicken salad recipe. The flavors worked well together. I used Keens curry powder that we order from Australia. We ended up doubling the amount of curry. I think next time I will sub green grapes for the mango. Although I liked the flavor of the mango I prefer the tartness and crunch that grapes have in a chicken salad and I always tend to have grapes in the fridge! :) Made for ZWT5.

What a unique chicken salad recipe! I made just as directed although I added white rice (wayyy too much leftover from lunch yesterday) and served it over a bed of mixed greens - DH was really bummed when he went to the kitchen for seconds, but DS had already cleaned out the bowl. Oh well, guess I'll be making this again! Made for ZWT5.
