sweet and spicy curry peach chicken salad

here's a twist on an old favorite. peaches, curry powder and jalepenos give a great kick to your chicken salad... and your tastebuds!

let's get started  »

step 1 - gather ingredients

1 large chicken breast or 3 small chicken tenders
olive oil
1/2 - 3/4 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
1 - 2 peaches, chopped
1 stalk celery plus the leaves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 jalapeno, chopped
1/2 tsp. curry powder, divided (1/4 tsp. & 1/4 tsp.)
3/4 tsp salt
pepper

step 2 - grill chicken

toss the raw chicken in olive oil and coat with one of the 1/4 tsp. curry powder. grill or bake the chicken until done. (one baked chicken breast is usually about 20 min. at 400 degrees f). allow to cool and chop into bite-size chunks.

step 3 - combine & mix

put all the ingredients in a bowl (including cooled chicken) and add the yogurt a tablespoon at a time - until desired flavor is reached. (some people like really saucy chicken salad and some do not.) mix it all together until you reach the desired consistency.

step 4 - final

you may want to chill before serving. serve on a croissant or a bed of lettuce and enjoy!
