Ingredients

4 chicken breast fillets
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stick, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
4 whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 tblsp oil
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp curry powder
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tsp tomato paste
1/2 cup thick plain yoghurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tblsp mango chutney

Here's how
1 Place the chicken, carrot, celery, onion, peppercorns and bay leaf in a single layer in a large frying pan. Add enough water to just cover the chicken. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes, or until the chicken is tender. Leave to cool in the liquid then remove and slice the chicken into thin strips.

2 Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion and curry powder. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the chopped tomato and wine, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

3 Stir in the tomato paste, yoghurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice and mango chutney. Mix until well combined and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the chicken strips and mix well. This dish looks lovely served on a bed of salad greens.
