This is through Renna and i have to say...
My recipe for the day is what we will be having for dinner.
Coconut Curry Chicken Salad
(forgot the celery- in the pic not the final salad :)1 pound chicken strips
EVOO
Butter
1 T EVOO
1 T Coconut Oil
1 T Mayonaise
2-4 teaspoons curry (to taste)
1/2 cup celery
1 T sun dried tomatoes- minced
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/8 cup Crushed Walnuts
Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat frying pan over medium to medium high heat. Add EVOO and Butter to coat pan (I use a combo because it can take a higher heat without browning the oil/butter). When hot add chicken strips. Cook until lightly brown and then turn and lightly brown on back side.
Remove chicken to cool. Deglaze pan with approximately 1/4 cup water. I use a flat wooden spatula to get all the good bits up!
Chop or shred chicken into ~1 inch pieces. Mix with deglaze liquid, oils, and other ingredients in bowl. Curry, salt and pepper to taste.
You can serve warm over fresh greens, or cool chicken for a cooler meal.

Oh, wow, I wish I'd seen this before lunch, when I made my regular old chicken salad. Believe it or not, I did add curry to mine for the first time today. It added a nice little kick. Next time, I'm making your recipe, though!
This recipe sounds divine! Can't wait to try it out...
Yum! This looks like the perfect chicken salad for a picnic lunch! Thanks for stopping by my blog-I'm glad to have found yours!
I have never cooked with curry but after seeing this recipe, I am very excited to try it! and the finished picture looks soooo yummy :)

Oh my gosh! That looks deeeeeeeeeeelish, Shannon! I'm going to have to try that recipe of yours sometime!
I have a number of recipes for chicken salad but have never seen one with coconut in it before. I'll have to try this.
