Barbecued Chicken & Lychee Salad image

Fro Australian Good Food. I have also made this with steamed chicken breasts - the result was ok. The recipe calls for fresh lychees which are easy to find in Australia. However, you can use canned lychees, drain well and quickly run them under water to remove the sweet syrup. If you can't find jaggery use brown sugar.
