Hi friends!

Can you believe it’s almost the weekend again? Did ya do anything special yesterday to celebrate Valentine’s Day?

As I mentioned earlier this week, fur baby had his 8th birthday yesterday so, of course, he was spoiled rotten with treats and toys (that were destroyed in 5 minutes flat). But, boy, those 5 minutes were fun!

We are planning on celebrating Valentine’s Day this weekend with some homemade Indian food, which includes my veg korma (my take on my favourite take out dish), among others.

Hubby and I plan on preparing it together while listening to some records and having a glass of vino. The little things, am I right? Can’t wait!

Onto this curry chicken salad recipe, shall we?

Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich Ingredients

What makes this chicken salad sandwich recipe extra easy is that I used leftover rotisserie chicken. Those are so convenient, am I right?

If you don’t have any hanging around your fridge, not to worry, just cook up some chicken for use in this sandwich!

The basic elements of any chicken salad sandwich recipe are:

Cooked chicken
Mayonnaise
Seasoning, like salt and pepper
Bread

But, this isn’t just any chicken salad sandwich recipe! It’s a healthier chicken salad (because some of the mayonnaise is subbed out for yogurt). Plus, there’s curry and apple in there (and some other yummy ingredients)!

How To Make This Recipe

Full details on how to make this curry chicken salad sandwich are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:

To a bowl, add the cooked chicken, apple, yogurt, mayonnaise, chives, curry powder, lime juice, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
Stir well to combine and get all those chunks of chicken covered in that creamy curry deliciousness.
Toast (optional) some bread, spread some mayonnaise over and divide the chicken salad between two slices. Top with remaining two slices of bread to form the sandwiches. Optional: Throw some green leafy veggies onto your sandwich for added colour, texture and flavour, like arugula, baby spinach or butter lettuce.

Recipe Variations

Try chicken salad sandwich with grapes (halve them).
Even chicken salad sandwich with raisins would work wonderfully.
Rather not have fruit? Try chopped celery instead.
Not into fruit or veggies with chicken salad? Omit and this sandwich will still be delish.
Want things even healthier? Omit the mayonnaise entirely and replace with all Greek yogurt.
