Directions

Bring the broth and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add chicken to broth and simmer, covered, for 8 minutes. Turn the heat off and let chicken stand in the cooking liquid, covered, until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the broth and cool completely in the refrigerator. Cut into 1/4-inch dice. Toast the almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and beginning to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, and curry powder. Fold in the chicken, grapes and cilantro and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, toss the greens with the oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the greens on 4 individual plates, top with a scoop of the chicken salad and sprinkle with the almonds.

    I'm not a curry person but my husband is. I made this for him last night and I couldn't stop eating it. I'm even eating it for breakfast right now. LOL The recipe is perfect as written...let it set overnight and the flavors are even better the next day.

    Every time I make this dish it is always a hit lots of comments. I add a little more curry for additional flavor if you are not a curry person follow the recipe.

    Delicious as always Thanks Ellie

    Just plain delicious. I added a little more curry to give it a little more zing. Even my wife loved it, and she is not a curry fan at all!
