Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 0.5 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium apple, cored and diced
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from heat and let it cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the curry powder, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice until smooth.
Once the chicken is cool, chop it into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
Add the diced celery, chopped red onion, diced apple, dried cranberries, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the chicken.
Gently toss all ingredients together until the chicken is well-coated with the dressing.
Serve the chicken curry salad on romaine lettuce leaves or with your favorite sandwich bread or wraps.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
