Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ Small Brown Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1 tablespoon Curry Powder
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 60ml (¼cup) Chicken Stock
  • 60ml (¼ cup) Water
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 120g (½ cup) Mayonaise
  • 120g (½ cup) Greek Yoghurt
  • 60g (7-8) Dried Apricots, finely chopped
  • 2 large Cooked Chicken Breasts, diced (or shredded)

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the onion, bay leaf and curry powder and sautee for 3-4 mins. If it starts to stick add a splash of the chicken stock.
  • Add the tomato paste, chicken stock, water and lemon juice. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes, until slightly reduced. Allow to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the prepared sauce, mayonaise, yoghurt, chopped apricots and stir together.
  • Add the cooked chicken and gently mix until combined.

Notes

CURRY POWDER - Curry powders can vary greatly. I used a mild curry powder. You may have to adjust amounts depending on the curry powder used and how used to the spices your children are. 
MAKE IT SMOOTH - If you don't like "bits" in your sauce. Blend the prepared sauce, with the apricots, before mixing with the mayo and yoghurt. 
CHICKEN - Use leftover chicken or cook chicken your prefered way. Cut into small chunks or shred. Note that shredded chicken can soak up a lot of the sauce making it less “saucy” and sometimes claggy. Chunks are better if making in advance. 
STORAGE - Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days.
