I’ve made this curry chicken salad in the past and it’s always been a crowd pleaser. There’s something about the savory and warm flavor of curry married with the sweetness of apples and creaminess of the mayo-yogurt combo that pleases the palate. This time I added some raisins in the mix and wrapped the salad in collard leaves and radicchio instead of your typical flour tortilla. The leaves add a nice crunch and freshness and are a great option for those looking to lighten up a meal or for those with gluten-intolerance or sensitivities.
A lightened up version of traditional chicken salad with an anti-inflammatory boost from the curcumin compound found in curry powder. Wrapping your salad in collard leaves or radicchio adds a nice crunch and freshness and is a great option for those with gluten-intolerance or sensitivities, or for those looking to add some extra veggies in their day.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Place chicken breasts on sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from oven and let cool enough to handle.
- Mix together yogurt, mayo, curry powder, and lemon juice.
- Add raisins and diced apple, celery, and scallion into mayo-yogurt mixture.
- Dice up chicken breasts and mix into mayo-yogurt mixture.
- Spoon 1-2 oz of chicken salad into leaves and wrap it up. Because the radicchio leaves are smaller, they act more like a taco than a wrap.
