Today’s Special: Coconut Curry Chicken Salad

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation — a refreshing and flavorful Coconut Curry Chicken Salad. This dish is perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or just a light and satisfying meal at home. The combination of creamy coconut milk, aromatic curry spices, tender chicken, and crisp veggies creates a delicious harmony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 300g chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

In terms of kitchen tools, you’ll need:

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • saucepan

To prepare this Coconut Curry Chicken Salad, start by whisking together the coconut milk, curry powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Pour the coconut curry mixture over the chicken and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. Adjust the seasoning to taste with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.

Once the salad is well mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, give the salad a final toss and sprinkle some extra chopped cilantro on top for garnish.

This Coconut Curry Chicken Salad weighs approximately 800g in total and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per portion.

One clever tip for this recipe is to toast some shredded coconut in a dry pan until golden brown and fragrant, then sprinkle it over the salad just before serving for an added crunch and extra coconut flavor.

I hope you enjoy making and eating this Coconut Curry Chicken Salad as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with your own variations by adding ingredients like pineapple chunks, toasted cashews, or even a sprinkle of chili flakes for some heat. Bon appétit!
