Made with apples, pecans, and of course our homemade mayonnaise, this Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich is an easy to make, flavorful chicken salad!
Our sweet boy Nigel has been on an altered diet for weeks. Boiled chicken, rice, and sometimes some cottage cheese. He's over it. SO over it. And now we have all of these plain, boiled chicken breasts leftover. What do you do with leftover boiled chicken? Make a chicken salad from scratch - like this Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich!
First step to this (and to all great chicken salads), a Homemade Mayonnaise! Which truly, is so so easy to make!
Then it's just then chopping up all the ingredients- chicken, scallions, celery, dried cranberries, pecans, and some sliced green apple.
All mixed together with a few tablespoons of the homemade mayo and a teaspoon of curry powder.
Put in between a couple of slices of Dan's Como Bread and we have a delicious, from scratch Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich! A slight curry flavor with a great variety of textures and flavors from the apples, celery, cranberries, and pecans. Yum! I think I'll have to make a baguette for this too!
Enjoy! As always, if you make this recipe or any of my others, I love to hear what you think! Leave a comment below, email me, or you can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest!

Tracy, I am planning on making this for friends this week. How many people does this Recipe serve? Looks great!
Hi Deborah! The recipe makes just under 3 cups of salad. The way I make my sandwiches, it makes about 2 because I LOAD them up with 1 1/2 cups each, but you could definitely get 3 sandwiches if you're using only about 1 cup a sandwich. 🙂 Enjoy!!
Anddddd, I'm hungry!
Love this combo! Made something similar when I had leftover homemade coleslaw!
MMmmm, sounds great..;)
