Theresas Chicken Salad With Mango Chutney Mayonnaise Recipes

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD WITH MANGO GINGER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Combine the mayo, chutney and curry powder in a medium size mixing bowl.
• Mix the salad: Add the remaining ingredients and stir until the chicken is fully coated in the dressing.
• Chill: Cover the bowl and allow it to chill in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
• Store: Keep covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.

ROASTED-CHICKEN BREAD SALAD WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in separate batches, blanch fresh peas and snap peas (or just snap peas, if using frozen green peas) in a medium pot of salted boiling water until bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath; let cool completely. Drain. Slice snap peas in half on the bias.
• Pat chicken dry and transfer to a large ovenproof skillet. Rub all over with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until chicken is golden and a thermometer inserted into thigh (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before carving. Loosely tent with foil to keep warm.
• Skim fat from skillet; discard. Whisk lemon juice and 1/4 cup oil into skillet, then season with salt and pepper.
• Heat broiler. Arrange bread on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil, tossing occasionally, until toasted, about 2 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine toasted bread with both peas. Drizzle with lemon dressing and toss to coat. Arrange bread salad on a platter and top with chicken and pea shoots; serve.

CHICKEN ROASTED WITH SOUR CREAM, LEMON JUICE AND MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lay the chicken flat in a medium roasting dish (either Pyrex or enamel). In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream. Add the chutney and curry powder and whisk until smooth. Add the lemon juice a little at a time and taste as you go. It should taste quite tangy. Stop when it is to your liking.
• Spoon the sauce evenly over the chicken. Place in the oven and roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, season with freshly ground black pepper and serve.

CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES WITH MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together the chicken, yogurt, chutney, celery, scallions, a squeeze lemon juice, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
• Divide salad among four slices of bread; top with remaining slices.

CHICKEN TOSTADA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with 2 teaspoons oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, 10 minutes. Divide cheese among tortillas and return to oven. Bake until cheese is bubbling, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add half the red onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add chili powder and garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add chicken and cup water and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is warmed through and water is almost evaporated, 2 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon lime juice and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, combine lettuce and 1 tablespoon lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat and divide among tortillas. Top each tortilla with chicken mixture, tomato, avocado, remaining onion, and cilantro.

MANGO CHUTNEY CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• If using yogurt in place of mayo, you must drain it or it will be way to watery (perhaps you could use Greek style yogurt without draining). I use a fine mesh sieve lined with about 3 layers of paper towels. Add about 1.5 cups of yogurt to end up with a cup of drained yogurt. Allow it to drain for at least an hour - you'll be surprised how much water comes out - and how thick the yogurt gets!
• Combine chutney and mayo or yogurt in small bowl, set aside.
• Cook rice according to instructions (This will be about 1 cup of uncooked brown rice, maybe a little more. Don't worry if it's not exactly 2 cups.).
• Chop the pecans and toast them - either put them on a baking sheet and place them in the oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant or do it on the stove top in a frying pan.
• Chop the apple and place in large bowl, the one you will put the whole salad in, and add the juice of the half lemon (just put something on the apples so they don't turn brown).
• Chop the celery, green onions. Dump them in with the apples.
• Optional: half or slice the grapes - I leave them whole, I think they're nice that way. Dump them in the bowl.
• Cut up and cook chicken breasts. Again, you could bake these, boil them, cook them on the stove top, whatever floats your boat. I just put some salt and pepper on them and throw them in a frying pan. Dump this in the bowl.
• Add the mayo/yogurt and chutney mixture and stir to combine.
• Refrigerate before serving (if you can wait that long). The flavors will develop over time. Nice cold or at room temperature.
