Coronation Chicken was invented for the late Queen\u2019s Coronation back in 1953. It is a chicken meat dish made from an Indian inspired creamy curry sauce. As well as having coronation chicken sandwiches you could have it in a wrap. Alternatively you could have the coronation chicken with salad or on a jacket potato. Then there\u2019s the option to have it with rice or Bombay potatoes. Plus as coronation chicken contains apricots and\/or sultanas it is also a good way to get fruit into the diet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once made it can be stored in the fridge for 2\/3 days or frozen for a later date (up to 2 months). If you do freeze it then please make sure it is defrosted thoroughly before consumption, and give it a good stir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Make Healthy Homemade Coronation Chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This Coronation Chicken recipe is one adapted from Liana\u2019s Kitchen (see here for the original<\/a>). There\u2019s also a wealth of other recipe ideas so please do check out that blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n On that post it is stated that you can use the recipe to make use of leftover chicken. However, leftovers isn\u2019t currently a thing in my house but this may change when the boys leave home!<\/p>\n\n\n Some of these ingredients are optional or can be swapped for alternatives. For example instead of the Cr\u00e8me Fraiche and Greek Yoghurt you can use the equivalent amount of mayonnaise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This recipe is so simple that if your chicken is already cooked you will actually only need two things – a bowl and spoon!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Liana\u2019s Kitchen recipe recommends poaching the chicken which I had never done before! They were right though it turned out delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is really easy to make Coronation Chicken sauce – simply mix in your bowl the 300ml of Cr\u00e8me Fraiche with the 150g of Greek Yoghurt. Add in your 2 teaspoons of mild curry powder and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix this together until well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may want to play around with the amount of curry powder and cinnamon because even these small amounts our son found it was too cinnamon heavy. Alternatively you can also use curry paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next you want to stir in 1 tablespoon of mango chutney, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and any salt and pepper to season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is then when you will add your cooked chicken. Mix until it is well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is where you have the option to add apricots and\/or sultanas. The original recipe doesn\u2019t say an amount but I used the whole bag and this seemed to work okay!<\/p>\n\n\n Finally you have the option to stir in some fresh coriander!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out my blog category for more recipes <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"shredded](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/shredded-chicken.jpg?resize=1000%2C750&ssl=1\")
