Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Pounds Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless, chopped and ready to cook (or about 2 cooked and chopped breasts)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil for cooking chicken
  • 3/4 Cup Green Onions about 5-6 chopped
  • 3/4 Cup Celery chopped
  • 1/3 Cup Almonds sliced
  • 5 Tablespoons Mayonnaise or more as needed to hold it together
  • 3 Tablespoons Curry Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions
 

  • Cut chicken breasts into small cubes. Heat large skillet on medium high and heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook chicken pieces in single layer until done (about 6 minutes). You may need to cook in batches because it’s better not to crowd the chicken while cooking. If you leave it sit in the skillet without moving it around, it will sear a bit and give it a nice color and flavor. Season with salt and pepper while you cook.
  • While chicken is cooking, chop it up like you would ground beef. You’ll want smaller pieces so it doesn’t fall of your cracker later. You can also give it a few quick pulses in a food processor or a few batches in a mini chopper after it’s cooked. Remove chicken and let cool. While cooling, cut your green onions and get your other ingredients ready. Mix all together, taste and re-season if needed.
  • Now go out there and impress your friends with their new favorite appetizer.
