A beautiful and delicious chicken salad to serve your guests --great for a brunch or a light lunch. You can use either sweet or Madras curry powder which is spicier. Toasting the curry powder first deepens the flavor of the spice. This recipe is from an old Bon Appetite magazine. (Prep time does not include time for cooking the chicken).
