Where to find ingredients
Find shredded roast chicken ready-to-eat at local supermarkets or butcher shops. Celery and apples are widely available in fresh produce markets and grocery stores. For mayonnaise and natural yoghurt, visit your neighbourhood supermarket dairy aisle. Use local fresh basil and parsley from street vendors or grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Carefully shred the entire roast chicken
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together the raisins and chopped celery
- Drizzle the apple cubes with lime juice to keep them fresh and prevent discolouration
- Add the prepared apple to the bowl with the shredded chicken
- Whisk the yoghurt and mayonnaise together in a separate small bowl to create the dressing
- Season your creamy dressing with torn fresh basil leaves
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture
- Gently fold everything together until all the ingredients are well-coated and creamy
- Finish with a sprig of fresh parsley before serving
