Sauce and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 2 tablespoons mango chutney
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a skillet with olive oil over medium heat.
- Create a spice blend using curry powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to coat chicken breasts thoroughly.
- Sear the seasoned chicken in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust develops.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then carefully shred or dice into uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, and mango chutney in a spacious mixing bowl until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved.
- Fold the shredded chicken into the sauce, gently incorporating cilantro, toasted almonds, raisins, and green onions for balanced flavor and texture.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to enhance flavor melding and allow ingredients to chill.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh cilantro and serve cold as a refreshing chicken salad.
Notes
- Adjust curry powder intensity based on personal spice preference to create a milder or bolder flavor profile.
- Toast almonds beforehand to enhance their nutty richness and provide extra crunch to the dish.
- Swap yogurt with Greek yogurt for a tangier, protein-packed version that adds extra creaminess.
- Make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free mayonnaise and checking chutney ingredients for potential wheat-based additives.
