Oh, this is aMAZing! This deserves many, many more 5 star reviews! I marinated the chicken overnight and grilled it on a George Foreman grill. It was very, very flavorful, and complemented the dressing perfectly! I can make a large amount of this, and serve it alone for dinner. (use whatever fresh veggies are on hand) (I think it would be just fine with half the amount of garlic in the dressing)

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!

Very nice salad, loved the marinade except for cooking it, should have done it outdoors, the marinade burns around the chicken and filled the house with smoke before I realized and turned on the fan!! Once the smoke cleared the chicken was definately good tasting!!, I had no red or yellow pepper around, they are quite expensive around here this time of year so I used just green pepper; the baby corn was very nice change. I cut back on the sugar,(used splenda),in the dressing to about half called for, it turned out fine but a little tart which we like. We did like the taste of the chicken a lot, just the right amount of curry and we will make it again, next time on the bbq outside. I used 2 chicken breast halves and instead of tossing the chicken in the salad we just laid it across the top and since I didn't have the colour of the peppers I added some tomato wedges on the side of the salad. Thanks for sharing an ejoyable meal!
