This Chutney Chicken Mayo Bake is a South African family favourite that has been passed down through the generations for Sunday lunch! It truly is nostalgia on your lips!
You can use thigh and breast pieces for the chicken, as this offers an option that is a tad more fatty and indulgent, and an option that is leaner and healthier- something for everyone! You can also decide if you would like to use a really creamy mayonnaise, or a healthier one. If eating in moderation, we suggest going with a creamy and fuller fat mayonnaise, as it creates a base sauce that is richer and creamier.
The chutney and mayonnaise results in a tangy and sweet, yet creamy sauce perfectly paired with the deliciously moist chicken pieces. The chutney also adds a lovely stickiness to the sauce, contributing to added texture.
Serve this dish with a side salad of your choice- we suggest a simple garden salad to balance the meal out, as this dish packs a lot of flavour.
This chicken bake requires minimal ingredients and straightforward steps that will leave you with an all-in-one tasty chutney chicken and rice dish in no time! with only twenty minutes preparation time, this dish practically cooks itself making it a great meal for moms or dads on the run with evening laundry, home work, baht time and dinner to boot!
