Ingredients

Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • 3 tablespoons mango chutney
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons curry powder
  • Juice from ½ lemon
  • 1 bay leaf
Chicken Salad
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • salt pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds Cooked Chicken Breast
  • 1 ½ ounces dried fruit chopped apricots in the original but I used ¼ cup currants
  • Rolls or lettuce for serving.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat butter or oil in a small saucepan. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add remaining dressing ingredients and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Discard bay leaf and place dressing in refrigerator to cool.
  2. When dressing is cool, stir in the mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chop the chicken into bite sized pieces, then add to the dressing along with the dried fruit. Stir to combine.
  3. Serve on soft buns, bread or croissants -- or over lettuce. Will also work dolloped on cocktail-sized bread as tea sandwiches or appetizers.

Notes

  • I cooled my dressing in the freezer, stirring occasionally, to hasten the process.
