Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. To make rub, combine paprika, onion powder and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a cup. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; sprinkle both sides evenly with the rub.

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken; cook 1 1/2 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer breasts to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken. Bake chicken 10 to 12 minutes, just until cooked through. Wrap chicken in foil and let stand 5 minutes. Cut into 1-inch chunks.

Meanwhile, stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add onion, currants, apples and chicken; toss to coat. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.
