I loved this, exactly what I was looking for. I baked the chicken in the marinade and broiled it at the end. I cut back on the sugar in the dressing just because of personal preference. Even my two year old licked her plate clean. I will definitely make this again!

This was quite tasty! The chicken was unique with the curry in the marinade and the dressing was kinda sweet but kinda tart. The combination of flavors when you put the two together made for a very enjoyable and definately not boring salad! Pouring the marinade over the chicken and baking it at 450 degrees does make it smoke a little but the chicken is just fine and was cooked perfect after the 30 minute rest. We will have this again!
