About this recipe
Curried chicken salad wraps Thermomix TM7 style bring a delicatessen classic straight to your kitchen in well under half an hour. Searching for an easy chicken wrap recipe or a quick weeknight dinner made in your all-in-one kitchen machine? This one delivers. The TM7 steams skinless chicken thigh fillets until wonderfully juicy, while curry powder and ground turmeric infuse the creamy mayonnaise dressing with a warm golden glow. Fresh coriander and spring onions add a bright, herbal lift, raisins contribute gentle sweetness, and toasted pine nuts bring a satisfying crunch to every bite. Simply pile the salad into soft tortillas and you have a portable lunch, picnic favourite or effortless family supper. Everything happens in one mixing bowl, so there is minimal washing-up afterwards — a genuine bonus on busy days when you still want something homemade, aromatic and full of texture.
Preparation tips
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan before adding them, so their resinous flavour really comes through against the sweet raisins and creamy curry mayonnaise. Add them only just before serving to keep their crunch.
- The curried chicken salad tastes even better after a short rest in the fridge, as the curry powder and turmeric have time to soak into the mayonnaise. Keep it covered and consume within two days.
- For a milder, child-friendly version, halve the curry powder and add a spoonful of natural yogurt to the mayonnaise. A few diced apple pieces make the wraps sweeter and juicier for little eaters.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free: serve the curried chicken salad in corn tortillas or lettuce cups instead of regular wraps. The curry, coriander and pine nut flavours remain exactly the same, so nothing is lost.
- Festive party version: spoon the salad into small endive leaves or hollowed cherry tomatoes as an appetiser, and garnish with a coriander leaf and an extra raisin for a colourful party bite.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- Gentle steaming in the Varoma keeps the chicken thigh fillets succulent and juicy, never dry, for an exceptionally tender salad base.
- Chopping spring onions and fresh coriander in seconds gives an even, uniform finish without tears or a sticky cutting board.
- Mixing mayonnaise with curry powder and turmeric produces a silky, streak-free dressing that coats every shred of chicken beautifully.
- Grinding whole spices, if you prefer them fresh, releases a deeper aroma than pre-ground curry powder for a more fragrant salad.
- Weighing raisins and pine nuts directly into the mixing bowl saves dirtying a separate scale and keeps the counter clutter-free.
