Low Syn Curried Chicken Rice Salad Bowl

Delicious Curried Chicken Rice Salad Bowl with the natural sweetness of apples and golden raisins.

I often cook my slow cooker chicken at the weekend, as it makes a delicious Sunday Dinner with all the trimming. However there is often plenty of leftover chicken, which actually comes in really handy for throwing into salads, or topping some soup just to add a bit of protein to my meal. One of my favourite salads to make with leftovers is this Curried Chicken Rice Salad Bowl.

I really like Indian food, but sometimes I just like to make up my own recipes with an Indian slant rather than recreate a classic dish.

If you love coronation chicken, you will love the sweet curry flavour of this Curried Chicken Rice Salad Bowl, all similar flavours, but instead I mix in some leftover cooked rice, sweet apple and crunchy celery etc to make it into a complete meal, rather than a topping for crisp breads or baked potatoes.

Many people can be a bit worried about reusing cooked rice, but it isn’t actually cooked rice that’s the issue, but more how it is stored once cooked. If you refrigerate as soon as possible, and keep it chilled, cooked rice is perfectly fine for reheating in something like this egg fried rice (actually for egg fried rice, you should always use cold cooked rice, as otherwise it gets too sticky and starchy), or eaten chilled in this salad.

What’s not to love about a quick and easy salad bowl like this? Chop up all the components and add to a large bowl with the protein and rice, spoon in the dressing and then all that is left to do is to toss all together for a delicious salad with lots of different bites of flavour.

Today was actually perfect for this dish. I’m sure this happens to other people as well as me,  you get up with plans of getting lots of thing done, but before you know it, it’s lunch time, you have nothing at all prepared or planned to eat, but you are hungry and need something quick.

That’s were little tubs or leftovers can come in really handy. I always try and save little bits of recipes I have cooked previously and keep in the fridge in the tub, or freeze a portion of something in the freezer. Those leftovers can be a lifesaver for a busy day. It is so easy to just add in  a few extra ingredients to make it more substantial for a meal.

If I don’t make sure I have at least something in the fridge that can be quickly thrown together for a meal, I know I am setting myself up to fail, by sabotaging my day and grabbing something else that I shouldn’t, should the hunger set in and I am not prepared.

This Curried Chicken Rice Salad Bowl, was just what I needed.  I fancied salad, I had leftover cooked chicken and a tub of rice and not one to waste food, this just had to be made.

My dad got to sample a serving too, as he is currently here visiting from Scotland. He was impressed with how quickly I put this together and really enjoyed the flavours. Even kids will enjoy this because of the sweetness of the apple and raisins.  So it is a great salad to make for the whole family.

    You really are a genius! I had some leftover rice and red onion from dinner last night so was searching on your site for a recipe to use this up for lunch and found this little beauty! I didn’t have any chicken so added in chopped seafood sticks and sliced boiled egg instead. I am also trying to work on having mainly syn free meals in ‘Free Food February’ so omitted the raisins and used quark instead of the mayo and yoghurt. I actually think that the sweetness of the sweetcorn and apple was enough that I didn’t miss the raisins.
    Thank you for yet another inspiring recipe xx

    Best rice salad ever! Love those coronation chicken flavours and all those interesting textures. A very filling dish thanks to the protein and the crunchy ingredients. Seriously yummy.
