How To Make rice a roni curried chicken salad
-
1Prepare a regular box of chicken flavored Rice A Roni according to package directions. While the Rice A Roni is cooking, cut up a chicken breast into bite size cubes, halve the green grapes, thinly slice 1 stalk of celery, drain the mandarin oranges and marinated artichoke hearts. Reserve 2 tbsp of the marinated artichoke oil. In a large bowl, add the cooked Rice a Roni and the rest of the ingredients. TASTE! Adjust seasonings to your taste!! Some folks like more curry powder while others just like a little hint of it. If using a large FAMILY size box of Rice A Roni double the rest of the ingredients. It's a very forgiving recipe. Refrigerate.
