… Sweet & Spicy Chicken Salad
It was hot today, 99 degrees & humid, so I didn't want to heat up the house by cooking…
I took some leftover chicken from a get-together last friday, diced it up…
Added in some spices…
Some Mango Chutney… this brand is Fair Trade & is available through SERRV, or if you're in the St Paul area you can get it at our local Ten Thousand Villages store.
A little Honey Dijon salad dressing, this one is Calorie Free & available at many stores…
I mixed in some Grapes, Onion, Celery… then I served it on a bed of lettuce…. Yum!
Ingredients:
8 oz diced cooked Chicken
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ancho Chili powder
1 tsp Sweet Curry powder
1/2 cup Mango Chutney
1/2 cup Honey Dijon salad dressing
1/2 cup diced Onion
1/2 cup diced Celery
1 cup Grapes cut in quarters
It is on the sweet side, with just a little bite of spice… my hubby loved it (he has a bit of a sweet tooth)… I loved the flavor, but think I might cut back on the salad dressing (1/4 cup) and add in some fat free yogurt (1/4 cup)… but honestly, it was great as is, I'm just more of a Spice girl & hubby is a Sweet boy… definitely an experiment gone right & a nice cool dinner on a hot day. This would also be good on bread, I see an open-faced sandwich for lunch in my future :)
