A show-stopping salad loved by Taste.com.au members, described as "simply stunning" by joyanne.
Ingredients:
  • 750g chicken breast fillet, trimmed
  • 440g can pineapple pieces in natural juice
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 10.00 gm mild curry powder
  • 20.00 gm mango chutney
  • 123.75 gm whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 1 butter lettuce, trimmed, washed, dried
  • 1 mango, peeled, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 avocado, peeled, sliced
  • 125.00 ml macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions:
  • Arrange chicken in a large frying pan, ensuring it's in a single layer. Pour pineapple juice over chicken. Set aside pineapple pieces. Sprinkle thyme over chicken. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Let chicken cool in flavorful poaching liquid. Reserve 1/4 cup liquid. Slice chicken diagonally.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, sauté the onion in oil until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in curry powder and chutney. Remove from heat and mix in mayonnaise and reserved poaching liquid.
  • Gently tear lettuce leaves in half and arrange them on a platter. Top with sliced chicken, pineapple, mango, avocado, and macadamia nuts. Drizzle with dressing, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
