Everybody has their own versions of chicken salad. I've even tried a couple of different variations, but there was one recipe that mom used to always make for me when I was younger, that I just seem to keep coming back to. The amount of ingredients varies depending on how much you're trying to make, but you can eyeball it and add or subtract stuff if you want. The secret ingredient to this deliciousness is mango chutney. It gives it a slight sweetness.
You'll need:
1 cup chicken, cubed or shredded
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup grapes, cut in half
1-2 tsp mango chutney (I like extra)
1-2 tbsp mayonnaise or greek yogurt (depends on how dry or wet you like it)
salt and pepper
Shredded chicken works a lot better when trying to fit in a sandwich, but cubed chicken works too. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. If you have big chunks of mango in your chutney, you may want to chop them into smaller bits. If you want to take a healthier route, try using greek yogurt instead of mayo to cut out the fat. I've tried it and it was good, but it does taste a bit different. As pictured, I think it tastes really good on pita bread, but it can be enjoyed with many things: rolls, bread, crackers, tortillas.
