[feast_advanced_jump_to] If you’ve never heard of Coronation chicken, it’s a cold dish of cooked chicken (shredded or chopped) in a curry spiced mayo-based sauce with mango chutney, sultanas and apricots for sweetness. Sounds like a bit of an unusual combination, but it really works. It was invented back in 1953 as part of a celebration banquet for the coronation of queen Elizabeth II. The recipe was widely published so that it could be enjoyed at homes and in street parties for the celebration. This is my take on that classic dish. 👩‍🍳PRO TIP If you want to loosen the sauce a little, simply stir in a tablespoon or two of cold water. I love to serve it on a nice crisp salad with red onion, cucumber and radishes, alongside a few flatbreads or slices of homemade bread – so people can make sandwiches out of it if they like. Now that’s what I call a loaded flatbread ⬇️⬇️ Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
