Chicken salad has always been one of my favorite meals for an easy meal prepped lunch, but this Curry Chicken Salad might just be my favorite variation I have ever tried. It is the perfect combination of shredded chicken, wild rice, diced green apples, golden raisins and green onion tossed in a sweet curry mayo. This is a recipe that was passed down to me from Matt’s Aunt Kristin & quickly has become a staple in our household. It is not only perfect for meal prep, but is great if you are looking for a meal to serve at a baby or bridal shower!

Tips & Substitutions

One of the reasons that I love to make chicken salad for meal prepped lunches is because there are so many ways to enjoy it! I love putting it in a wrap, on toasted bread, on a croissant (I like to buy mine from the Costco bakery for this!), in lettuce wraps or over a salad!

A few tips for making this recipe:

  • I find that using rotisserie chicken makes for the easiest + best chicken salad, but feel free to use any type of cooked chicken!
  • The diced green apple, golden raisins & orange marmalade add the perfect amount of texture and sweetness!!
  • This recipe will stay well in the fridge for 5-6 days. If you are making this for an event, feel free to make the day before - it will allow the flavors to really soak in!
