Curry Chicken Salad – Today’s alternative for my go-to Comfort Food


So, I’ve come to realize that my comfort food is Pizza. Thin Crust Pepperoni Pineapple to be exact. Frustrating day at work…. “I’ll order a pizza. I’ve earned it.” Stressed out about wedding planning… “I’ll order a pizza, I’ll finish _______ (fill in the blank for some wedding related thing) tomorrow.” Well, now that I have a little over 3 weeks before the wedding, I really NEED to ditch this pizza comfort food dependency I have. It should have happened sooner but if you were tracking my half marathon training, you know I have a serious procrastination problem.

I went to Publix this afternoon and decided I’d make some chicken salad for dinner. Healthier than pizza right? A step in the right direction.

Curry Chicken Salad Ingredients

  • Rotisserie chicken (I’m still a little squeamish when it comes to raw chicken. I think I’ve touched raw chicken about 5 times, in my life.)
  • Golden Delicious Apple (1/2 Cup - chopped)
  • Grapes (1/2 Cup – halved)
  • Celery (2 stalks)
  • Curry Powder (1 tablespoon – I really like curry, I know it's a strong flavor so some may prefer less curry powder)
  • Plain Greek Yogurt (6oz)
  • Walnuts (handful)
  • Salt/pepper (to taste)




Mix Greek Yogurt and Curry Powder together. Then add chicken, apples, grapes, and celery and mix well.  Add walnuts some salt and pepper and voila! Pretty delicious if I do say so myself.
