This robust and flavorful curry chicken salad sandwich is made with a mixture of greek yogurt and mayonnaise so it has a much lighter taste with more health benefits than your typical calorie packed chicken salad. Greek yogurt not only provides a nice tangy bite, but it's also full of probiotics and live cultures that help aid digestion and speed up metabolism. 

I recommend using this curry chicken salad as a sandwich recipe between two toasted slices of a pumpkin bagel (for a hint of sweetness), a drizzle of sriracha (for heat), a few cucumbers (for crunch, and lastly, a handful of kale leaves (for extra health benefits) but feel free to use it on whatever vessel you care for!

What You'll Need

  • For The Curried Chicken Salad:
  • 1.5 cups poached chicken, shredded
  • 2 tbsp. plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. curry
  • 1 tsp. tumeric
  • 1/2 ginger powder
  • 2 tsp. honey
  • the juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tsp. sriracha
  • 3 tbsp. cashews (coconut glazed ones are best!)
  • 2 tbsp. dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp. chopped mint
  • 1 tsp. chopped green onion
  • 1 tsp. chopped cilantro
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • 1 tsp. red onion, grated
  • For Each Of The Sandwiches:
  • 1 pumpkin (or plain) bagel, toasted
  • 1/4 cup curried chicken salad

  • a small handful of baby kale
  • more sriracha to taste
