Wonderful Chicken Curry Salad

I created this salad for a party last year. It tastes wonderful, and everyone asks for the recipe. Serve on croissants or lettuce leaves. For a fancy presentation, line a platter with red leaf lettuce, and top with cream puff shells that have been stuffed with salad (small shells for appetizers or large shell for main dish).

Ingredients :

• 5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• ¾ cup chutney
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ⅔ cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
• ½ cup chopped onion

Directions :

1. In a large saucepan, simmer chicken breasts in water for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain, cool, and tear into small pieces with a fork.
2. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, chutney, curry powder, and pepper. Stir in chicken, pecans, grapes, and onions. Chill.
