Ingredients:

Serving

750 g chicken breast fillets, trimmed
440 g pineapple chunks in juice
4 sprigs thyme
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small brown onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp mild curry powder
1 tbsp mango chutney
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 butter lettuce, trimmed, washed, dried
1 mango, peeled, cut into thin wedges
1 avocado, peeled, sliced
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

Directions:

Method.
-1. Place chicken into a large frying pan in a single layer. Pour pineapple juice over chicken. Set pineapple pieces aside. Add thyme to chicken. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover. Simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Set chicken aside to cool in poaching liquid. Remove chicken, reserving 1/4 cup poaching liquid. Slice chicken diagonally.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in curry powder and chutney. Remove from heat. Stir through mayonnaise and reserved poaching liquid.
4, Tear lettuce leaves in half. Place onto a serving platter. Top with sliced chicken, pineapple pieces, mango, avocado and macadamia nuts. Drizzle with dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Variation: Try replacing the chicken with cooked prawns and the mango with peeled ripe peaches.
If you're watching the kilojoules, replace the mayonnaise with Greek-style yoghurt and leave out the nuts.
