Curried Chicken Salad

This is a great last minute recipe. I usually make it with half of a Costco rotisserie chicken. Just de-bone the chicken and cut the meat into half inch cubes. While the chicken is loaded with sodium it's tasty and quick. Serve open face on rye bread, add couscous and a spinach salad and your set for the night with leftovers for lunch.
