We all love chicken salad on croissants in my house. Over the years, and with my children and husband as my taste-testers, I have come up with this recipe, which has a secret ingredient that adds a great taste... curry powder!

A bowl of Fabulous Chicken Salad with grapes and crackers.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a wonderful chicken salad. Apple and grapes add freshness to the dish. We love the addition of coleslaw dressing mix to the salad. It adds a touch of sweetness and makes the chicken salad extra creamy. This would be perfect for a light lunch or snack.

Ingredients

6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
32 ounces low-salt, fat-free chicken broth
3 stalks celery, minced
1 small white onion, minced

1/2 Granny Smith apple, diced

How To Make fabulous chicken salad

Step 1

Place chicken breasts in a large pot with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken breasts are thoroughly cooked.

Step 2

Cool slightly and then either shred or cut into small chunks.
Step 3

Meanwhile, mince the celery and onion. Quarter the grapes. Dice the apples.
Step 4

Mix the mayonnaise and coleslaw mix. Fold in the chicken and all the prepared ingredients along with the curry powder. Mix well. If desired, add salt and pepper to taste. I do not use any salt in this recipe - only freshly ground pepper; you can also increase the curry powder to 3/4 teaspoon if you wish a stronger flavor.
Step 5

Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend. Keep refrigerated.
