SERVINGS: 8-10   PREP TIME: 20 MIN  

 

INGREDIENTS:

Dressing: 

2 tbsp Mango Chutney
2 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp Water
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Satay sauce (any bottled variety of your choice)
A pinch of salt and pepper

Boats:

1 x medium pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 x ripe mango, finely diced (I bought readymade sliced mango and diced it)
2 x Gem Lettuce (Endive is also fine, or any lettuce leaves of your choice that are small and curved enough to make the boats)

 

METHOD:

  • Place all of the dressing ingredients in a large bowl and mix well until they’ve formed a smooth consistency (keeping a small amount of dressing to one side to use as garnish at the end)
  • Shred the chicken from the bones, add to the dressing and mix well until the chicken is nicely coated
  • Leaving a little to one side for garnish, add in the diced mango and mix everything together
  • Separate your lettuce into individual leaves
  • Build your boats by spooning a little of the mixture into each lettuce leaf (careful not to overfill the boats :))
  • Decorate each boat with a little more diced mango for added colour, and a drizzle of dressing to serve

Serve on a large platter as a main, side or starter and enjoy!
