Recipe and photo: Louise Venter
“This is an old recipe that I love to make on a lovely warm day like today! If there’s any leftovers it even tastes better the following day. Delicious! ”
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 large can lychees, drained, reserving the juice
- 2 tablespoons chutney
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 800 g chicken breasts, cut in bite size pieces
- chicken spice, to taste
- salt and pepper, to taste
- juice and zest of 1 lemon
- fresh lettuce of your choice
- ½ cup nuts of your choice (I used flaked almonds that I roasted)
- mini tomatoes (I used about 6), cut in quarters
- fresh coriander, finely chopped
Oven bake chicken pieces at 180 °C for 12 – 15 minutes. Allow to cool whilst making sauce. Heat oil and fry onion and garlic until soft. Add curry powder and stir well. Add juice of lychees and mix. Cook for about 10 minutes. Stir in chutney, mayonnaise and yogurt and pour over chicken and lychees. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving platter, spoon chicken mixture over and garnish with tomatoes, nuts and coriander.

Ek het dit gemaak en dit is vreeslik lekker veral die volgende dag. Ek het dieselfde sous gemaak en as ‘n aartappelslaai voorgesit – heeerlik! Die gedreineerde lietsjies het ek in ‘n vrugteslaai gebruik
