2. Place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl

3. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of reserved chicken juices for extra moisture, if desired

4. Chop the celery, cashews, and fresh or dried mango into small pieces

5. Add the celery, cashews, and mango to the bowl with the chicken

6. Add the honey mustard, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, and curry powder

8. Taste and adjust the curry powder or dressing as needed

9. Cover and chill for 30 minutes, or serve immediately

Notes

Use plain Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier dressing

Use mayonnaise for a richer and creamier texture

Choose slightly firm fresh mango so the pieces hold their shape

Chop dried mango into small pieces for even sweetness

Toast the cashews in a dry skillet for 3 to 5 minutes for deeper flavor

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
