CURRY CHICKEN WITH GRAPES

Chicken fruit salad curry

One day I was invited to a beach picnic, and asked to bring a salad. A friend and I got together in his kitchen and concocted a curried chicken salad with grapes. It was delicious, but we forgot to write down the recipe. After some more experimentation, I have come up with this recipe. I don't know if it is the same as what we made that day at the beach, but it is similar and delicious.

Ingredients

(Serves 8-10)

6-8 boneless chicken breast pieces (3-4 chicken breasts, halved and boned)
300g-1kg seedless grapes (vary amount to taste)
1 1/2 cups"
500 ml mayonaise
20 ml curry powder
15 ml olive oil
5 ml cayenne pepper
2.5 ml ground black pepper
5 ml fruit vinegar

Procedure

Make the sauce by mixing together all ingredients except the chicken and the grapes. Season to taste (sample by dipping a grape into the sauce and then eating it).
Broil the chicken breasts (3-5 minutes on each side in a preheated broiler), then dice or shred into small bite-sized pieces.
Cook the pasta according to package directions, and drain.
Mix chopped chicken with 300 g of whole grapes. Add the cooked drained pasta. Cover with the sauce. Mix well. Add more grapes to taste. My taste is to add vast quantities of grapes.

Rating

Difficulty: easy.
Time: 25 minutes including cooking the chicken and pasta.
Precision: no need to measure.
