This is one of the easiest recipes in our arsenal and a total favorite! I wouldn’t know about the amazingness that is Major Grey Chicken Curry if it weren’t for my friends Ursula and Megan. They introduced me to Shamiana restaurant in Kirkland years and years ago. While everything is good there, we all agree that the Major Grey Chicken is a standout. When I started working right near Shamiana and could hit up their lunch buffet, my obsession got even worse…and my work days got a lot less productive when I was coming back from a lunch buffet so full I could barely move. I had to try to keep my trips there to a minimum but it was hard on some days!

This recipe is super easy to make at home and is perfect served with some rice and naan. In the future I’ll probably add some veggies to this curry to make it a more well-rounded meal. The original recipe I found online calls for chicken breasts but I’m pretty sure the restaurant uses thighs. I also like to cook my chicken almost all of the way through before adding it back to the curry where some of the recipes had you add the chicken when it wasn’t cooked all the way through. You could really use any chicken for this dish, such as leftover rotisserie chicken, whatever you have on hand!

Curry Chicken WrapsThese curry chicken wraps are a total family fave. Every time we make them, people just can’t get enough. They are one of my favorite things to bring on picnics, road trips, or just to eat for dinner! You could definitely have the curry chicken mixture over a bed of greens, but there is something about having these in wrap form that makes me not want to have them any other way.Curry Chicken Wraps

Recipe
Curry Chicken Wraps
Adapted from Ina Garten
Makes 6 – 8 wraps

Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts, (bone in, skin on is optional)
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup chutney (recommended: Major Gray’s)
  • 3 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 cup medium-diced celery (2 large stalks)
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
  • 1/4 cup raisins (or golden)
  • 1 cup whole roasted, salted cashews, chopped
  • 6 Spinach or Sundried Tomato Tortillas (I used the big Mission Brand ones)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and shred the chicken in pieces.

For the dressing, whisk the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until smooth. If you want a smoother mix, you can put ingredients in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process.

Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews to the chicken.

Fill the center of each tortilla with the chicken mixture. Fold the 2 sides of the tortilla over the filling so that the sides overlap. Roll the tortilla from bottom to top, and cut in half diagonally.

Herb and Tofu CurryOne of my later-in-life food discoveries was yellow curry. I had never really had it, or thought to order it, until my first job out of college. We ordered a lot of takeout…one of the places down the street was the diviest looking joint ever. Like, I would never go in there on a whim. BUT we had a “house account” there where we didn’t even have to use a credit card, they would just send us a bill in the mail…weird, right?Herb and Tofu Curry

A good take on homemade chicken fingers…a nice play on coconut shrimp, if you will.

I used Pineapple Salsa from Costco that paired with these really well. Sweet Chili Sauce would also go great with the finished product.

Recipe

Crunchy Coconut Chicken Fingers

From The Deen Bros Take It Lighter

Ingredients:

1/2 cups flaked sweetened coconut, chopped
1/2 cup plain panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 pound chicken tenders, about 8 tenders
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites (I used whole eggs)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Combine the coconut, breadcrumbs, flour, brown sugar, and curry powder on a piece of wax paper. Sprinkle the tenders with the salt. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until frothy; add the chicken tenders and toss to coat. Lift the chicken from the egg whites one at a time, and coat with the coconut mixture, pressing so the coating adheres. Place the chicken in a single layer on the baking sheet. Spray both sides of the chicken with nonstick spray. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, about 15 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time.
