Ina Garten’s curried chicken salad is a creamy and mildly spicy dish made with roasted chicken breast, a flavorful curry-infused mayo dressing, and additions like raisins, nuts, and celery for texture and contrast. It’s a gourmet-level salad that can be served chilled and enjoyed as a light main or hearty side.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • Olive oil

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 1½ cups mayonnaise

  • ⅓ cup mango chutney

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 cup diced celery

  • ¼ cup sliced scallions

  • ½ cup golden raisins

  • ½ cup chopped toasted cashews or almonds

  • Mixed salad greens or sandwich bread, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the chicken

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a sheet pan and roast for 30–35 minutes, or until cooked through. Let them cool, then cut into bite-sized cubes.

Step 2: Prepare the dressing

In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mango chutney, curry powder, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Add the mix-ins

Stir in diced celery, scallions, golden raisins, and chopped nuts. Fold in the cubed chicken and gently toss to coat everything evenly in the dressing.

Step 4: Chill and serve

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Serve chilled over a bed of greens, with crackers, or inside sandwich rolls.
