Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 200 g Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 units Celery stalks
- 1 unit Red bell pepper
- 1 unit Apple
- 50 g Sliced almonds
- 30 g Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by poaching the chicken breast. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer, adding a pinch of salt.
Add the chicken breast to the simmering water and cook for about 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the water and let it cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, curry powder, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth dressing.
Finely chop the celery stalks and red bell pepper. Dice the apple, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, red bell pepper, diced apple, and sliced almonds to the mixing bowl with the dressing.
Toss all the ingredients together until evenly coated with the curry yogurt dressing.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add to the salad for a burst of freshness.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for around 30 minutes for a more intense flavor blending.
Garnish with additional cilantro and sliced almonds before serving, if desired.
