CHICKEN POACHING INGREDIENTS

6 each *peppercorns
1 each *bay leaf
1 each *parsley stalk
1 each *sprig of fresh thyme
1 each *onion
1 each *carrot
1 each *celery stalk
1/2 green pepper, finely shred
1/2 red pepper, finely shred

PEPPER CURRY FLAVOURING

1/2 *small onion finely diced
2 tsp *vegetable oil
1 tbsp *curry powder
1/2 cup *white wine

WATER CURRY MAYONNAISE

1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp warm water
3 tbsp curry flavoring (above)
1 each pepper
1 each salt

Instructions:

Poach chicken by placing in a large pot with enough cold water to
barely cover. Add peppercorns, bay leaf, parsley, thyme and one
each: onion, carrot and celery cut into quarters. Bring to a bare
boil with lid on; reduce heat to low and simmer for 50 minutes. Cool
in poaching liquid, then drain, skin and shred. To make curry
flavouring, soften diced onion in hot oil, then add curry powder and
cook over medium-high heat for a further 3 minutes. Add wine and
water. Boil rapidly until reduced to about 3 tablespoons. Strain and
let cool. Prepare curry mayonnaise by combining all ingredients until
smooth. Place peppers in a large bowl (reserving a little for
garnish), with chicken, pasta, salt, pepper and curry mayonnaise. Mix
gently until well- coated. If mayonnaise mixture is too thick, add
warm water gradually until a smooth consistency is attained. Place a
portion of salad on bed of spinach and sprinkle reserved peppers on
top. Assemble just before serving, as the mayonnaise quickly loses
its fresh look.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.

"We didn't starve, but we didn't eat chicken unless we were sick, or the chicken was." Bernard Malamud (1914-1986)
