Warm garam masala chicken salad with naan croutons
Chicken second courses
I came up with this dish when looking to satisfy a craving for Indian food while also trying to use up leftover chicken (many weekends, my husband roasts or smokes a whole bird to provide protein for the week). It’s based on Merrill’s Warm Chicken Salad, which features shredded chicken and tender potatoes crisped in a skillet and then strewn over crunchy Bibb lettuce with red wine vinaigrette. <br /> <br />With juicy red grapes, fresh spinach and herbs, chickpeas, chicken, and naan croutons toasted in garam masala, my updated version doesn’t disappoint; the big jumble of textures and flavors creates a salad that tastes far from leftover. We have to count out the crispy naan croutons in my house to make sure everyone gets an equal share. <br /> <br />Note: Day-old naan works best for croutons. If yours is fresh, tear it in half and lightly toast it first, to dry it out.
