Preparing the Chicken
- Combine the room-temperature water and bouillon cube in a saucepan as best you can. Add the chicken, ensuring it's fully submerged.
- Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a slow simmer. Let the chicken cook for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the chicken sit for an additional 10 minutes. Make sure the chicken is at least 74º C (165º F).
- Remove the chicken from the water and place it in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer with beaters, shred the chicken until you achieve the desired consistency.Give it a rough chop, to make sure the strands are not too long.
- Let the chicken cool off
Preparing the Other Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise and curry powder. Stir until well blended. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed—add more curry powder if you prefer a stronger flavor, or a bit more mayonnaise if it's too strong. You may also want to add a pinch of salt for extra seasoning.
- Slice the white and light green parts of the scallions into thin rings.
- Dice the apple into small cubes. You can choose to peel the apple or leave the skin on, depending on your preference.
- Add the shredded chicken, sliced scallions, and diced apple to the curry sauce. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes
For those looking to enjoy a lighter and healthier version of Kip Kerrie Salade, there's a simple yet effective tweak you can make. Instead of using mayonnaise, consider substituting Greek yogurt. This not only reduces the calorie and fat content but also adds a tangy flavor that complements the curry seasoning beautifully. Greek yogurt is packed with protein and probiotics, making it a nutritious alternative that doesn't sacrifice taste or texture.
If you prefer a balance between the traditional richness of mayonnaise and the health benefits of Greek yogurt, try using a mix of half Greek yogurt and half mayonnaise. This combination retains the creamy consistency while lightening up the overall dish. Whether you choose to fully replace the mayonnaise or just partially, these adjustments ensure that your Kip Kerrie Salade remains delicious and satisfying while being a bit more health-conscious.
