Cook Time:

Servings:
4 Portions
Ingredients
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 6 green cardamom pods
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 pound skinless chicken breasts
  • ⅓ cup plain yogurt
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoons mild curry powder
  • ¼ cup mango chutney
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
  1. Add cold water to a medium-sized saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick, the coriander seeds, the cardamom pods, and the black peppercorns to the water, and then add the chicken breasts.
  2. Heat up the water over a medium-high heat until it is gently simmering. Once the pan has reached a gentle simmer, drop the heat to a medium-low heat so that it continues at a low simmer. Poach the chicken until it is cooked through, roughly 10-12 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken from the water and set aside to cool.
  4. In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, mango chutney, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper, to taste.
  5. Chop or shred the cooled chicken breasts and mix together with the curried yogurt and mayonnaise mixture. Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and serve.
