Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients can be found in the produce and dairy sections of any major supermarket. Raisins and mayonnaise are standard pantry items. Plain yogurt is also widely available. Fresh basil can be found in the herb section of larger supermarkets or at farmers' markets. For a more authentic Brazilian flavor, look for specialty Brazilian or Latin American markets, which often carry a wider variety of produce and pantry staples. If fresh basil is unavailable, dried basil can be used sparingly as a substitute, or fresh parsley can be used for garnish.
Preparation method
- Carefully shred all the roasted chicken
- In a large bowl, mix the raisins with the chopped celery
- Drizzle the apple cubes with lemon juice to prevent browning
- Add the apple to the bowl with the shredded chicken
- Prepare the dressing in a separate bowl by combining the yogurt with the mayonnaise
- Season the mayonnaise mixture with basil leaves
- Incorporate the dressing into the chicken mixture
- Gently stir all ingredients until they are well coated with the dressing
- Garnish with a sprig of parsley before serving
