Curried Chicken Salad

(adapted from Barefoot Contessa Family Style: Easy Ideas and Recipes That Make Everyone Feel Like Family by Ina Garten)

1 lg. whole cooked chicken, meat removed from the bones and pulled into large bite-size pieces
1- 1 1/2 c. good mayonnaise
1/3 c. dry white white wine
1/4 c. mango chutney (such as Major Grey's)
3 Tbls. curry powder
2 lg. stalks celery, finely-chopped
2 scallions, roots removed and finely-chopped
1/4 cup currants or raisins
1 c. whole roasted, salted cashews
salt and freshly-ground pepper

For the Dressing:
Either in a food processor or (for a slightly chunkier version) using a whisk combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Mix well.

Add chicken with desired amount of dressing. Add celery, scallions, currants or raisins, freshly-ground pepper and combine well. Refrigerate for at least a few hours to allow the flavors to "marry". Add cashews just before serving.
