Curried
Chicken with Chutney Roll-ups
Curried Chicken with Chutney Roll-ups are a big hit
at every party.
Sonja has called me the "Roll-up
Guy" at a few of our parties.
Not sure if this silly name is good or bad but I do know
why she does it.
One of my favorite things to make for a party of any
kind is a Roll-up. To me they are just about the
perfect party food. They are quick and easy to make.
Travel well. Are easy to carry around and eat. And they taste
delicious.
Another great thing about them is the fact that you can roll up
almost anything so I will never run out of new things to
try.
I will be sharing some of my favorite party successes with you
(notice the "#1" below) in the coming months.
I hope you enjoy.

Curried Chicken with Chutney Roll-ups are one of my biggest
successes to date. I adapted this from a chicken salad recipe
to the roll-up format and everybody loved it at two different
parties. I have gotten three calls asking for the
recipe, so far!
You may want to double the recipe for a large party.
Trust me.
Roll-up #1 - Curried
Chicken with Chutney Roll-ups
Ingredients:
- ½ cup Chutney (see note below)
- ¾ cup Mayonnaise
- 1 - 2 tablespoones Curry Powder
- ¼ cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut, toasted (see
directions
- 1 pound Roasted Chicken, diced (see note below)
- ¾ cup Green and/or Red Seedless Grapes, cut in
halves
- ½ cup sliced Almonds, toasted (see directions)
- Salt and Pepper
- Pack of 10 - 20 Flour Tortillas - 10 to 12 inches
size
Directions:
- Place almonds in a large frying pan and heat over
medium, shaking often, until they darken.
- Place coconut on a cookie sheet and broil in an oven
until darkened slightly. Watch it closely as it will burn
quickly. You can omit this toasting and use the coconut as
is and the roll-ups will taste just as good.
- Combine the chutney, mayonnaise, curry powder and
coconut in a large bowl.
- Gently mix in the chicken, grapes and almonds.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Lay out tortillas and put about a tablespoon of the
mixture in the center of each. Hint - Do them one at a time
and you'll get better at estimating the best amount as you
go.
- Roll each tortilla as you would a burrito or egg roll
starting at one side and folding in the ends. Stick a
toothpick through each end (about 1 inch from the end) to
hold the edge in place.
- Cut each roll-up in half and place on plate.
Note on Chutney - If your stores are anything like the ones
here in Louisville, chutney will be next to impossible to find
-- if they carry it at all. Save yourself some time and just
ask where it is as soon as you walk in the door. Trust me --
you'll thank me for this.
Note on Chicken - Left over chicken works great with this. Or I
have used a rotisserie chicken from Kroger. "Easy to make" is
my motto. I have not tried this with BBQ chicken yet but plan
to. I'll let you know how it works. Or, please let me know if
you try it. Click on the link below.
