directions
- 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.

Yes ma'am! I have to admit to some alterations mainly because my husband couldn't keep his paws off the chicken, but the curry flavoring/mayo was an outstanding combination of flavors. We omitted roughly the first half of your ingredients and stir-fried (in oil) 2 across-the-grain cut chicken breasts with 3 Tbsps crushed garlic, 1 tsp chili powder and 1/2 tsp seasoned salt. Folding the chicken into the curry mayonnaise and serving it warm, we found paradise! Thanks!
