🍽 Ingredients

• 2 Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• To taste Salt
• To taste Pepper
• 1/2 cup Red Grapes
• 1/4 cup Almonds, slivered
• 2 slices Bread of your choice

📖 Instructions

1. First, let's get that chicken cooked! In a small saucepan, bring about 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 2 chicken breasts (about 1 pound) and cook until fully done - you know, nice and juicy, about 15-20 minutes. Let them cool completely before shredding. I usually just shred 'em right over the sink, super easy!
2. Once the chicken is cool, shred it using two forks. Set aside. Don't be afraid to get a little aggressive with the forks—it’s a workout, and a delicious one at that!
3. Now for the creamy curry base! In a large bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (my fave is Fage Total 0%!), 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Duke's, if you're feeling fancy!), 2 tablespoons of curry powder (adjust to your spice preference – I’m a bit of a spice fiend!), 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best!), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Give it a good whisk until it’s all smooth and creamy.
4. Time to add the chicken! Gently fold in the shredded chicken into the creamy curry mixture. Make sure everything is well-coated. If it feels too thick, add a splash of milk or water, a little at a time, to achieve your desired consistency. Mmm, creamy goodness!
5. Chop the grapes in half (or leave them whole, if you're feeling lazy) and roughly chop about 1/4 cup of almonds. I like to give the almonds a quick toast in a dry pan for a few minutes, then chop them. But raw works well too!
6. Add those grapes and almonds to the chicken salad. Stir gently to combine. Taste it, and see if it needs anything else. Sometimes, a sprinkle of more curry powder is exactly what it's callin' for!
7. Spread some of that amazing chicken salad on bread, you could use croissants, sourdough or whatever floats your boat. I adore using those little multi-grain rolls!
8. I personally love adding a bit of lettuce to each sandwich, for extra crunch. Don't forget to arrange the pieces in a pleasing manner on a plate. A bit of fresh parsley is a nice garnish!
9. And there you have it! Serve immediately, or pack 'em up for a delicious lunch on the go. They’re even better after they've had a little time to settle in!

📝 Notes

• For a spicier salad, add more curry powder. Adjust to your liking!
• If you prefer a smoother salad, you can briefly pulse the almonds in a food processor before adding them.
• Make sure your chicken is cooked completely before shredding it. Food safety first, folks!
