Equipment

Ingredients

4 Chicken breasts (500g cooked or 750g raw)
5 tablespoon Creme fraiche (70g)
8 tablespoon Mayonnaise (116g)
½ stick Celery diced
3 tablespoon Sultanas (35g)
3 teaspoon Medium curry powder
1/16 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
½ Lemon juice (and zest if you wish)
3 tablespoon Mango chutney (55g)
⅛ teaspoon Sea salt
⅛ teaspoon Black pepper
½ Shallot finely diced
½ cup Almond flakes (3 tbsp/22g)
Fresh coriander

Serve in:

Bread
Butter

Instructions

If you're working with raw chicken, place them in a large saucepan and fill with water halfway. Cover with a lid and bring to a rolling simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
Then remove and chop and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, toast the almond flakes in a dry frying pan. This should take around 2-3 minutes.
Keep shaking the pan, and stop when they start to crackle.
Now in a large bowl, stir in all of the wet ingredients.
Add the remaining ingredients except the chicken, coriander and almond flakes.
Stir in the diced chicken breasts into small bite sized pieces and stir into the sauce.
Now sprinkle the rest of the ingredients on top as a garnish and serve in slices of buttered bread.

Notes

When poaching the chicken, slice the breast in half to ensure there is no pink raw flesh in the middle, otherwise continue cooking.
Try poaching the chicken in a broth with some aromatics, such as carrot, onion, celery, bay leaf, and peppercorns - and don't forget to use the stock later in a soup!
To make the sauce more smooth and creamy, you can use a blender or a food processor to mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, curry powder, cinnamon, and mango chutney together.
