Curried Chicken Salad Recipe {Whole Foods Copycat}

July 19, 2017 by Felesha 26 Comments

This Curried Chicken Salad Recipe is loaded with roasted chicken, mango chutney, currants, green onions, toasted almonds and comes really close to the Whole Foods Chicken Salad original.

Curried Chicken Salad Recipe {Whole Foods Copycat}

I stopped by Whole Foods the other day for lunch. I love their cold counter but in my efforts to find something that was on the lower carb side I decided to go for their popular curried whole foods chicken salad. It’s so popular that it was nearly gone. I used to enjoy their curried chicken salad all the time years ago…no idea why I ever stopped!! It’s so hard to put the fork down and I’ve always wanted to copycat my own version of their curried chicken salad recipe so here was my big chance.

The Whole Foods Curried Chicken Salad recipe is so easy to replicate given that they list all of their ingredients on their labels. I just came up with my own measurements and boy that this curry chicken salad recipe not disappoint! I left hubby a plate of it in the fridge and he text me stating whatever that dish is that you left in the fridge…it was sooo good!! Lol!! Β So there you have it, the perfect Whole Foods Chicken Salad. It was a winner for hubby as well as Momma and Daddy.

Curried Chicken Salad Recipe {Whole Foods Copycat}

Speaking of winning…Are you facing a battle in your life? Know that God is on your side and has a plan for victoryΒ in whatever situation, challenge or hardship you’re facing. Know that the battle belongs to God as He has already secured the victory.Β 1Β John 5:4 states β€œFor everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the worldβ€”our faith.” Know that our faith brings us to victory and that we are truly overcomers in Him!! Amen!! Say Grace and enjoy!!

    I have never had Whole Foods version, but my mom used to make a curry salad with mango chutney and I LOVED it. Can’t wait to make yours!

    I’ve never tried the curried chicken salad at WHole Foods but now that you posted this recipe I can just re-create it at home myself!~ I’ve also looked at the ingredient labels for some Whole Foods deli counter dishes and made them myself too – such a great idea : ))

    You nailed it!! I always get this at my Whole Foods and your copycat was perfectly amazing! I have a request: Can you attendmpt to duplicate their very popular, always sold out Jack’s Meatloaf(made with ground beef and oats instead of breadcrumbs). That would be remarkable,I have tried but not a true match. Thanks so much for who you are,God Bless!

    I tried this recipe yesterday. OMG. Taste just like the real thing! I shredded my chicken instead of cubing the meat, makes it easier to eat in a sandwich. I also added some cilantro and celery. So good. Thinking you can serve over lettuce or rice. Thanks again for sharing!

    Sounds great! Two questions…..why chicken thighs and not chicken breasts? Thighs dont cut into chunks all that well…

    Need to make enough for party of 20…this is potluck so other food will be available.

      Hi Carol! I used chicken thighs to keep things moist and succulent. You are welcome to use breasts but be sure to roast them with the bone in and skin on to keep things juicy. Remove the skin and bones after roasting. Be sure to let me know how it turns out for you. Enjoy!

    What is the mango chutney? Do I make it? Is it a canned thing? Thank you! I absolutely LOVE this stuff but live over half hour away from the nearest WF…this would be AMAZING to be able to recreate! Thanks, And Blessings!!!

      Hi Rachel! It comes in a jar. Try the International aisle where the Indian foods are or the condiment aisle at any local grocer. Hope this helps!! Be blessed!
