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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the double cream, mayonnaise, mango chutney, apricot preserves, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the shredded chicken to the bowl with the sauce and gently toss to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 7

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Before serving, optionally sprinkle with sliced almonds and fresh coriander leaves for garnish.

Step 9

Serve Golden Jubilee Chicken chilled or at room temperature, accompanied by a fresh green salad or buttered rolls.
