Curried Chicken and Rice Salad

Recipe #295235 | 30 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: South Carolina Girl

This is a recipe from the same friend who gave me Bisquick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Before I ate it at her house, I never would have thought I would enjoy this, but it is a meal I make frequently now. I do make some substitutions to make it easier to assemble (canned peas, etc.). Don't be quick to leave out the raisins, though, as they make a big difference in my opinion. Preparation time does not including cooling time. ***This recipe is better when it is made a day ahead.***
