Easy Recipe: Curried Chicken Salad

Writer's picture: Heather LindsayHeather Lindsay


Hey girl,

I just tried a new recipe, and I am SO excited to share it with you!!

It's the perfect meal prep lunch to make that is simple and easy! 🙌🏻 This curried chicken salad will have you happy-dancing as it's filled with flavor, creaminess, crunch, and packed with nutrition!

I am a HUGE fan of recipes that require little prep but yield big portions to enjoy for a few days so that I can press the easy button when it comes to meal time! 🎉

Curried Chicken Salad 🍇🥑🥣

adapted from the recipe Curry Chicken Salad-Stuffed Avocados from Danielle Walker's cookbook Healthy in a Hurry

serves 4

  • 1 cup avocado oil mayo

  • 1 TBSP pure maple syrup

  • 2 TBSP curry powder

  • 3 cups shredded chicken

  • ½ cup organic grapes (halved)

  • ⅓ roasted salted pistachios

  • ½ cup chopped celery

  • fine sea salt + freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • optional garnish: chopped green onions

I didn't have any green onions this time, so I just added a few extra pistachios and grapes on top which made it look even more colorful and added another burst of flavor and texture! 🍽

I'm a big fan of the Chosen Foods brand of mayo and get it from Costco! You can typically find that brand of mayo in most grocery stores too! Mayo made with avocado oil, olive oil, or coconut oil are healthier alternatives to mayo traditionally made with canola oil or oil industrial processed seed oils.

For the curry powder, I used this one from Thrive Market. You can use my link with Thrive to get 40% off your first order!

One of my favorite ways to meal prep is to throw organic chicken breasts in our crockpot— I usually do it from frozen since I buy in bulk at Costco— and cook them on high for 4-6 hours until they fall apart. I put an inch or two of water in the bottom of the crockpot and add salt for basic seasoning.

Or, you could roast your own whole chicken! Buying a whole organic chicken is typically significantly cheaper than purchasing boneless chicken breasts.

To make it even easier, you could grab a rotisserie chicken! I like the organic rotisserie chickens from Whole Foods market as they don't contain any added preservatives.

Whatever works for you! ☺️

Serving tips: serve the chicken salad with fresh veggies, your favorite gluten-free crackers (the Simple Mills brand is my favorite and made with simple, clean ingredients), or over a bed of fresh greens! 🥗



Enjoy!! 💛
