Fruity Nutty Chicken Salad... with Curry!

My husband's favorite chicken salad!

Fruity Nutty Chicken Salad Sandwiches


Nouns:
2 chicken breasts, cooked, cooled and chopped
1 apple, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2/3 of a red onion, diced
2/3 cup pecans, lightly toasted and rough chopped
1/2 cup craisins
mayo or miracle whip (if you are anti-Mayo, then sub in some plain yogurt with a bit of lemon juice and honey here)
curry powder
sandwich rolls, lightly toasted
lettuce (optional)

Verbs:
Combine the chicken, apple, celery, onion, nuts, and craisins in a bowl.  Add mayo a few teaspoons at a time, stirring each time you add mayo until all the elements are coated to your desired level of mayo-y-ness.  It  always seems to take a different amount of mayo.  Sprinkle a teaspoon or so of curry powder over the salad and stir to incorporate.  Serve on the buns with the lettuce.

Tip: For yummy juicy chicken, I broil my boneless skinless breasts in about 10 minutes, and cover them in orange marmalade or mango chutney first.  But, any leftover cooked chicken will do once it's chopped up.



Also, this recipe always makes me think of this, which will surely brighten your day/freak you right out:
