Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
Cooking the bacon on medium heat ensures even crispiness.
Cut the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.
Let the chicken cool slightly before cutting to retain its juices.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chicken, bacon, raisins, red onion, celery, and pecans.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss until well coated.
Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens.
Garnish with additional pecans or a sprinkle of curry powder for presentation.
