Ketogenic Curried Chicken Salad Recipe [Paleo, Keto]

Curried chicken salads are one of my favorite dishes. They’re easy to make in advance and keep in the fridge until you’re hungry. You can also make a large batch of curried chicken salads to eat as a snack or take to work with you for lunch.

They’re a really versatile dish – you can serve it in lettuce cups, on some keto bread, or if you’re not watching how many carbs you’re eating, then you can even add them on top of a baked sweet potato.

This is a low carb/ketogenic curried chicken salad recipe, but the more traditional curried chicken salad recipe adds a touch of sweetness using raisins (often referred to as coronation chicken in the UK).

Keto Curried Chicken Salad Recipe – Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1:

Dice the chicken breast and cook the small pieces in some coconut oil in a frying pan. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 2:

Place the cooked chicken pieces into a large bowl. Let the chicken cool down while you chop the veggies that go into the chicken salad.

Step 3:

Chop all the veggies into very small pieces. If you have time, then saute the onion pieces in some coconut oil until they turn translucent.

Step 4:

Add the chopped bell pepper pieces to the bowl.

Step 5:

Add the blueberries to the bowl.

Step 6:

Add the chopped zucchini or cucumber pieces and the pumpkin seeds to the bowl.

Step 7:

Pour in the coconut cream and add in the curry powder.

Step 8:

Mix everything in the bowl together. Taste and add in additional salt, curry powder, or coconut cream to taste.

Step 9:

Add in the chopped cilantro. If you had time to cook the onion pieces, then add those in too.

Step 10:

Serve with some lettuce leaves for a simple Keto meal or snack.
