Cook the chicken breast by poaching it in room temperature water for about 15 to 20 minutes until fully cooked.

Let the chicken cool down after cooking.

Chop the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Chop up some celery and scallions.

Prepare fruits like apples or grapes for sweetness.

Consider including nuts like cashews or pecans for crunch.

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, curry powder, honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to make the dressing.

Combine the chopped chicken, celery, scallions, grapes, and nuts in a large bowl.

Pour the dressing over the mixture and mix everything well to coat evenly.

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.

Serve the curried chicken salad on a bed of greens, as a filling for sandwiches, or enjoy it on its own.
