Ingredients

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 stalks celery
  • ¼ cup peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup mango chutney
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

1

Add the chicken breasts to a small pot. Add enough water to cover.

2

Slice stalks of celery into large sticks. Add celery, bay leaves, teaspoon salt, and peppercorns to the pot. Bring to a boil . Once boiling, lower temperature and simmer for at least one hour. Chicken should be tender, and should pull apart easily.

3

Remove chicken from water. You may wish to reserve the water as a base for a stock or a soup.

4

Slice chicken into small bite-size cubes. Take care not to shred the chicken, because the salad should be chunky.

5

Put cut chicken into a medium-sized bowl. Add mayonnaise and chutney, one spoonful at a time until salad reaches correct consistency. The salad should be moist and chunky, not wet and mushy. Add salt and pepper to taste.

6

Serve by itself in a bowl, or on bread, biscuits, or croissants.
