South-east Asian Chicken Salad
Serves 4
Ingredients:
150ml coconut milk
350g Barker’s Professional Sweet and Sour Meal Sauce
400g chicken breast, cubed
¼ papaya, peeled and cubed
1 courgette, sliced thinly on mandolin
¼ cabbage, shredded on mandolin
100g toasted cashews
handful of coriander, roughly chopped
handful of mint leaves, torn
crushed nacho chips (optional)
Method:
In a saucepan, bring the coconut milk and Barker’s Professional Sweet and Sour Meal Sauce to a simmer.
Add the chicken and poach until semi cooked. Turn off the heat and allow to cook in the residual heat.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, add the papaya, courgette, cabbage, cashews, coriander and mint.
Using a slotted spoon, lift the chicken out and place into the salad.
Dress the salad with some of the poaching liquor.
Arrange in bowls or on a platter and crush the chips over the salad.
Garnish with extra coriander, roughly chopped.
HANDY HINTS:
Swap out nacho chips for crispy noodles.
Smoked chicken is a great substitute for chicken breast.
