Chicken salad is a tried and true old-school recipe. This is a modern version with creamy mayo, crisp celery, slivered almonds, aromatic curry powder and fresh herbs. Delish! It’s super easy, quick to make and tastes really good. Eating healthy doesn’t have to take a lot of time. You just have to have a plan.

I prepared the chicken breasts in the air fryer because it was hot out and I didn’t want to heat up my house by using the oven. If you don’t have an air fryer, that’s ok. You can still make this recipe. Cook chicken in the oven, then dice it up into chunks. Or saute chicken in a pan on the stove. That works too.

Add raisins or currants if you want a little extra texture. If you don’t like curry, substitute dijon mustard instead.

Eat your chicken salad on a salad, on romaine or boston lettuce leaves or gluten free bread or wrap.

I hope you enjoy this simple yet beautiful air fryer curried chicken salad.
