Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts in a frying pan with the vinegar, white wine or water and bring to the boil.
- Lower the heat to a very gentle simmer and cook for 25 minutes until the chicken is done.
- Meanwhile, to start the salad, heat the grill to the highest setting and grill the whole red peppers until they are blistered and blackened all over.
- Remove from the heat, place in a bowl and cover with food wrap. Leave to stand for 10 minutes to make the skins easier to remove.
- When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside to cool on paper towels.
- Peel the black skins from the peppers, discard the core and seeds and cut the flesh into strips. Combine in a salad bowl with the cucumber, salad leaves and parsley leaves.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce. Cube the cooled chicken and stir in to the sauce. Arrange the salad on serving plates and top with the dressed chicken and serve.
- Note: You may want to add a dash of Balsamic vineger to the sauce if you find it too tart.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice the chicken into large bite-size pieces.
- For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
- Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.

Tent with foil; continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees and juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA
My whole family, full of picky eaters, loves this dish, and it's great for freezing and reheating on a cold day or for an easy dinner on cold nights. This dish comes out as more like a stew than a meat with a sauce. Serve over egg noodles or hot cooked rice. Goes great with fresh, crusty pumpernickel bread for hearty winter meal. Easy to make and can be kept on low heat on the stove for lengthy parties.

Steps:
- Wash and chop lettuce, cabbage, and carrots. Toss together in medium bowl and chill.
- Peel and dice mango and avocado. Set on separate plate. (You can toss this with the salad if you plan to eat it all in one sitting, but if not then keep separate so it is not soggy.).
- Fry bacon in skillet. Drain and set aside.
- Shred chicken. If your chicken is leftover and getting a little dry, toss it in a little bit of the bacon grease or oil of your choice in a small bowl. Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper and toss to coat evenly. If you prefer hot chicken you can heat it now. I serve this as a completely cold salad.
- Chop bacon and add to chicken.
- Shred cheese and set aside.
- For the dressing, combine mayo, dijon mustard, honey, prepared mustard, white vinegar, paprika, and black pepper. Combine until smooth and chill.
- Combine all ingredients, dress, garnish with cheese, and serve.
