Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 500 ml chicken stock
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 150 ml double cream
- 150 g mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp mango chutney
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 2 tbsp apricot preserves
- 1 piece garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the saucepan and let them cool. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking stock for the sauce and discard the bay leaf. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and curry powder, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the double cream, mayonnaise, mango chutney, apricot preserves, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the cooked garlic and curry mixture along with the reserved 1/4 cup of chicken stock. Mix until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Add the shredded chicken to the bowl with the sauce and gently toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, optionally sprinkle with sliced almonds and fresh coriander leaves for garnish.
Serve Golden Jubilee Chicken chilled or at room temperature, accompanied by a fresh green salad or buttered rolls.
