Chicken and sweet potatoes with shiitake mayo

Chicken second courses

This richly flavored mushroom mayo adds great depth to simple ingredients- from grilled chicken to hard boiled eggs (or tea eggs, even better!) to crudite. Here I have folded it into a simple salad of rotisserie chicken, roasted sweet potatoes and crunchy cucumber. It seems subtle at first, but, like truffles, you really sense them through smell as you eat. I like mine light on the mayo, but you can certainly increase the ratio if you like it more saucy.
