When spring arrives and the sun starts to warm up, there’s nothing better than enjoying a good picnic outdoors. A juicy chicken dish is a definite must-have.
My picnic chicken is particularly delightful because of the curry mayo, which provides a lively flavor without being too strong. The chicken is cooked to perfection with a spiced crust.
The crunchy selection of vegetables offers a fresh contrast to the creamy mayo, and it holds up well even with slight transport mishaps in the picnic basket.
This dish is easy to make, takes little time to prepare, and the ingredients are easy to find – perfect for a relaxed outing. Remember to bring some napkins!
Variants & Tips
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with grilled halloumi or portobello mushrooms and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Wrap the chicken, salad, and curry mayo in pita bread for an easy handheld version.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with warm bread and butter alongside the dish.
- Fresh berries or a fruit salad can be a sweet finish to the meal.
