Chicken in Curry Mayonnaise
A creamy chicken salad dish, flavoured with mild curry. Great with brown rice.
This recipe calls for fresh chicken (hence the long preparation time), however, it is a good recipe to use up left over cooked chicken. Simply skip to the second stage of the recipe and adjust the quantities of the other ingredients to match the amount of cooked chicken you have available. This will give you a super supper dish in 10 minutes.
