Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are cooked through. Turn the heat off and leave the chicken to cool in the water.
Mix the yoghurt with the curry powder or paste and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix it together until it is well combined
Stir in the mango chutney, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to season.
Once the chicken has cooled down, drain it from the liquid and shred or dice it into strips.
Add the shredded chicken into the curry sauce until it is well combined.
If you are adding sultanas and or apricots, stir these in now.
Serve with a green salad, in a sandwich, or on a jacket potato.
