APPLE & MANGO CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD

Apple & Mango Curried Chicken Salad image

This salad is fresh and appealing with several distinct flavors that meld together beautifully. The apple and celery add a nice crunch and there is a mild spicy kick with the addition of curry powder. For guests who enjoy curry, I would definitely entertain with this dish. It is filling, delicious and it presents well. This recipe is adapted from Good Housekeeping light and healthy recipes (2007).

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
6 tablespoons low-fat yogurt (1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp)
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons salsa
1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 mango, ripe (substitute mandarin orange slices, if desired)
1 apple, a small Fiji apple (if you would like more tang, use a less-sweet apple such as Granny Smith)
1 stalk celery, medium sized
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
6 -8 sprigs cilantro
1 cup greens (field greens, about two small handfuls)

Steps:

Cook the chicken breast in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes (until no longer pink in the center).
As the chicken is baking, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, salsa, lime juice and curry powder in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
Peel and de-seed the mango then chop into half-inch chunks (I haven't tried this salad with mandarin orange slices, but I think they would make a nice substitution if mango is unavailable).
Remove the apple's core and chop into one-inch chunks. Chop the celery into 1/4-1/2 inch chunks. Cut the fresh mozzarella into one-inch chunks.
Add the mango, apple, celery and mozzarella to the bowl. Toss to combine.
Finely chop the cilantro. Add the cilantro and field greens to the bowl and stir to combine.
Shred the cooked chicken after it has cooled (cutting the chicken into small cubes would work as well, but shredded chicken adds a nice texture to the dish). Add to the bowl and toss.
Serves four as a small dish or serves two as a large dish.

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 shallots , halved
2 small red chillies , deseeded, half roughly chopped and half finely chopped
zest and juice 1 lime
thumb-length piece of fresh root ginger , finely grated
2 tsp sunflower oil
2 chicken breasts , skin on
1 red-skinned apple , cut into matchsticks
½ mango , peeled and cut into matchsticks
½ small bunch mint , leaves picked
3 spring onions , sliced
small bunch coriander , leaves picked
½ tsp fish sauce , plus a splash
¼ tsp caster sugar

Steps:

Whizz the shallots in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the roughly chopped chilli, ¾ of the ginger and all the lime zest, then whizz to a chunky paste. Tip into a frying pan with 1 tsp oil and some seasoning, then fry for a couple of mins until fragrant.
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Release the skin from the chicken breasts along one side, and stuff with spicy shallot stuffing. Can be done up to a day ahead. Season the skin, then roast in a roasting tin for 15-20 mins until golden, crisp and cooked through. Meanwhile, make the rice (see right).
Toss together the apple, mango, mint, spring onions and half the coriander. Mix the fish sauce, caster sugar, remaining ginger and lime juice, then set aside.
When the chicken is ready, remove it to a plate to rest. Sit the roasting tin on the hob. Spoon off any excess fat, then gently heat, adding the remaining lime juice and a splash more fish sauce, scraping up the chicken juices to make a sauce. Chop the remaining coriander, then stir into the sauce with the finely chopped chilli. Toss the salad with the dressing, then serve with the chicken, sauce and sticky rice.

What better to brighten up your day than a funky summer salad? Bit of a mishmash, really, but put all these flavors together and you're on to a winner. Garnish with fresh mint and cilantro leaves.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup couscous
2 sprigs fresh mint, stemmed and chopped
2 sprigs cilantro, chopped
2 cups boiling water
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 mango, cubed
1 avocado, cubed
1 small bunch watercress
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons low-fat yogurt

Steps:

Combine couscous, mint, and cilantro in a bowl. Pour in boiling water. Cover and let stand until couscous is soft, about 5 minutes.
Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; pound firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1-inch thickness. Season both sides with paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Slice chicken into strips.
Combine green bell pepper and red bell pepper in the same skillet used to cook the chicken; cook and stir over high heat until blackened in spots, about 5 minutes.
Spread couscous over the bottom a large serving plate. Top with chicken slices, pepper mixture, mango, avocado, watercress, feta cheese, and yogurt.
