Creamy Curry Chicken Appetizer – a savory blend of roasted chicken breasts, curry, fruit and nuts. Forget the crackers, this dip is so good that you will want to eat it with a spoon!
Appetizers just make life so much better! Whether you are watching the game on a big screen or just having a few friends over, a tasty app can turn a good time into one that’s AMAZING!
This Creamy Curry Chicken Appetizer, with big chunks of roasted chicken and lots of tangy curry is almost a meal on it’s own! I like to serve it with crackers, but it also works great on a roll as a sandwich.
Talking about appetizers…There is nothing quite like the taste of chicken and curry together. If you have not tried it you are totally missing out! Grab a big spoon and have a taste, or two, before putting the mix into the mold. It will be hard to stop but you can do it! Even though this looks really fancy…notice the little sprig of rosemary I set on top…. it’s an easy appetizer that takes just a few minutes to make! But it will need time to let it chill in the fridge – the longer the better! Make it the day before and you are set!
Ingredients to make Curry Chicken Dip
- Chicken Breasts – we used our slow cooker shredded chicken for this recipe, made from boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Shredded rotisserie chicken, or leftover cooked chicken are perfect for this recipe.
- Cream Cheese – softened cream cheese block.
- Mayonnaise – regular mayonnaise adds amazing creaminess, but light mayonnaise can be substituted if you’re watching fat and calories. We don’t recommend fat-free mayonnaise because it may not blend well with the other ingredients.
- Curry Powder
- Pineapple – drained, canned pineapple is what we used.
- Almonds – chop up whole almonds, or buy them pre-chopped.
- Dried Cranberries
