Come preparare

1
Bring the chicken stock and salt to a gentle simmer in a saucepan. Add the chicken breasts, reduce the heat to low, cover, and poach for 15–18 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 74°C.
2
Transfer the chicken to a plate and rest for 10 minutes. Cut or pull it into bite-size pieces, then cool completely so it does not thin the dressing.

3
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, shaking often, until pale golden and fragrant. Cool on a plate.
4
Whisk the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apricot jam, curry powder, lemon juice, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth and evenly colored. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
5
Add the cooled chicken and raisins to the dressing and mix gently until every piece is coated. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes so the curry flavor can settle.
6
Fold in most of the toasted almonds just before serving, reserving a few for garnish. Serve chilled or slightly tempered, with the remaining almonds scattered over the top.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Poaching keeps the chicken moist, while curry powder, apricot, lemon, and raisins create the sweet-savory balance that defines this British classic. Greek yogurt lightens the mayonnaise without losing richness, and toasted almonds provide contrast.
