Begin by preparing the chicken: if not already cooked, poach or grill the chicken breasts until they're fully cooked through and shred them into large chunks. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and gluten-free curry powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the mango chutney and lemon juice to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients.
Next, fold in the sultanas and toasted almond flakes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the cooked and shredded chicken to the bowl and gently mix until the chicken pieces are well coated with the curried mayonnaise blend.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle the fresh coriander over the top and drizzle with a touch of olive oil for added richness and presentation.
Serve cold alongside a fresh green salad or as a filling for gluten-free sandwiches or wraps.
