Coronation Chicken Salad

Had to make this in honor of our British family - made for QE II coronation 60 years ago.









6 skinless, boneless chicken breast
halves
1/3 cup sultana raisins
1 (1 pound) large mango, peeled, thinly
sliced
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
1 tablespoon mango chutney
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
3/4 cup toasted cashews


1.The recipe called for boiling the chicken  but I grilled it, then shredded it. 
2.In a large bowl, stir together chicken strips, raisins, and half of the mango.
3.In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, curry powder, chutney, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then toss gently with chicken mixture. Stir in half the nuts. Transfer to a platter, and garnish with remaining mango strips and cashews.


It was really yummy. I liked the mango and the chutney. I think another time I'll add sliced grapes instead of raisins. I've come to like them with chicken. Have any of you tried roasted grapes? I saw a recipe calling for them but haven't tried them yet!
