Time 55m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium white onion, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons mango chutney
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots (about the size of a raisin)
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Begin by poaching the chicken. Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt, then place in a single layer in a large pot. Add the peppercorns and 1 of the bay leaves. Pour cool water over the chicken until it is covered by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and place on a plate to cool. Shred the chicken, by hand, into large pieces and set aside in a medium bowl.
  • Cool the poaching liquid completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container and reserve for another use (see Cook's Note).
  • For the sauce, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until slightly darker in color, about 1 minute. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the red wine, 1/4 cup water, mango chutney, lemon juice and remaining bay leaf and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Remove bay leaf.
  • Combine the mayonnaise and sour cream in a medium bowl using a rubber spatulate. Add the cooled curry mixture and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine.
  • To finish the salad, mix the shredded chicken with the dried apricots and sliced almonds. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and gently coat the chicken with the sauce using a rubber spatula. Finish the salad by gently mixing in the cilantro.
