CURRY CHICKEN WITH GRAPES

     CHICKEN-CURRY3 - Chicken fruit salad curry

     One day I was invited to a beach picnic, and asked to bring
     a salad. A friend and I got together in his kitchen and con-
     cocted a curried chicken salad with grapes. It was deli-
     cious, but we forgot to write down the recipe.  After some
     more experimentation, I have come up with this recipe. I
     don't know if it is the same as what we made that day at the
     beach, but it is delicious.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 8-10)
     6-8       boneless chicken breast pieces (3-4 chicken
               breasts, halved and boned)
     2-6 cups  seedless grapes (vary amount to taste)
     2 cups    mayonaise
     4 tsp     curry powder
     3 tsp     olive oil
     1 tsp     cayenne pepper
     1/2 tsp   ground black pepper
     1 tsp     fruit vinegar

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Make the sauce by mixing together all ingredients
               except the chicken and the grapes. Season to taste
               (sample by dipping a grape into the sauce and then
               eating it).

          (2)  Broil the chicken breasts (3-5 minutes on each
               side in a preheated broiler), then dice or shred
               into small bite-sized pieces.

          (3)  Mix chopped chicken with 2 cups of whole grapes.
               Cover with the sauce. Add more grapes to taste. My
               taste is to add vast quantities of grapes.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 20 minutes including cooking the
     chicken.  Precision: no need to measure.
