Mexican-Inspired Chicken Tortilla Soup

Curry Coconut Deviled Chicken



Ingredients


  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)

  • 1/4 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder (adjust to taste)

  • 2 tablespoons mango chutney (sweet or spicy, depending on preference)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tablespoons chopped cashews (for garnish)

  • Optional: Endive leaves, naan bread, or cucumber slices for serving


Instructions:





  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • If you don’t have pre-cooked shredded chicken, boil or bake 2 chicken breasts, then shred them using two forks.


  2. Make the Filling:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, coconut milk, curry powder, and mango chutney.

    • Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated and the mixture is creamy. Adjust the curry powder and chutney to your taste.


  3. Add Cilantro:

    • Fold in the chopped cilantro for a fresh, herbaceous flavor.


  4. Assemble:


    • Option 1: Spoon the mixture into endive leaves for an elegant appetizer.

    • Option 2: Serve the mixture as a dip with warm naan bread or pita chips.

    • Option 3: Spread the mixture on cucumber slices for a low-carb option.


  5. Garnish:

    • Sprinkle the top with chopped cashews for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.


  6. Serve:

    • Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack. Pair with extra mango chutney or lime wedges on the side.


  • For a richer flavor, toast the curry powder in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding it to the mixture.
  • If you don’t have mango chutney, substitute with apricot jam or a squeeze of honey.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
