Would like to try this, but I need the nutritional information, i.e. serving size, calories, protein, carbs, etc.
Thank You
Oh, I’m sorry, Susan, we don’t have that information available.
Thanks for the reply.
There are apps (I use My Fitnesspal) that you can easily add the ingredients and amounts and it’ll give you a calorie count along with other nutritional information. It can be a bit tedious, especially if it’s a recipe with a lot of ingredients, but it’s worth it if it’s a recipe that you use often.
Great suggestion! Thank you so much.
Yum! This sounds incredible although I may use yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Thanks, Lora!
You are welcome Cheryl! We really like this one, sometimes we add grapes. Yogurt sounds delicious!

Fresh coconut? Like buy a coconut, crack it open and grate it? Or can you buy it in a store? I’ve never seen it in a store, but I don’t mind looking if I know they might have it! It sounds like a delicious recipe and I cannot wait to try it. Thanks so much!
You can crack a coconut and use a grater, but in many health food stores you can buy fresh shredded coconut in bags.
The ingredient list says the curry is “divided”, but I only see it used in baking the chicken. Should part of it be used in the dressing?
