Curried Chicken Salad (Or Sandwich)
"This recipe was originally a contest entry. It's an easy-to-fix recipe that is full of flavor, color & texture. It is ideal as a luncheon entree or sandwich filling for snacks, to-go occasions & pot-luck (Time was allowed for ingredient prep, but the chicken is pre-cooked & time does not include time for the mixture to chill under refrigeration). Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Put the raisins in a small bowl, add enough water to cover them & set them aside to plump. Cook bacon until crisp, crumble & set aside.
Step 2
While bacon is cooking, cut pre-cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes & set aside. In a small bowl, combine mayo, curry powder to taste preference, salt & pepper.
Step 3
Drain any excess water from the raisins & pat dry w/paper towel.
Step 4
In a large salad bowl, toss all ingredients w/dressing (except mixed greens or lettuce) & refrigerate until well-chilled.
Step 5
Serve the chicken salad over mixed greens (or lettuce of choice) - OR - Use as sandwich filling for another option. Used as sandwich filling (even generously portioned), you will likely have enough mixture for 8 sandwiches.
NOTE: The chicken salad can be made a day ahead of intent to use & stored under refrigeration in an air-tight container
