MAGIC GREEN BEANS
Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a high heat, fill with boiling water, and add a pinch of salt. Once bubbling rapidly, blanch the sliced green beans for 2-3 minutes until cooked al dente. Remove from the pot, reserving the boiling water in the pot, and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
POACH THE CHICKY
Return the pot with the boiling water to a medium heat. Add a good pinch of salt and stir until dissolved. Once simmering, add the Chicken mini fillets, cover with a lid, and poach for 4-6 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pot and place on a cutting board. Using two forks (one to secure the chicken and the other to shred), gently shred the chicken and set aside.
THE DISH’S CORONATION
Drain the water from the pot and return the pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the sliced Onion and fry for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the curry powder (to taste), shifting constantly. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl along with the chutney, the yoghurt, the shredded Chicken, seasoning, and the lemon juice (to taste). Mix until combined.
