Coronation Chicken

Coronation chicken is a mixture of cold cooked chicken, herbs, spices and a creamy mayonnaise based sauce. Great as a salad or sandwich filling.  Originally created to be included in the banquet for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.  I had some left over cooked chicken tournedos and was looking for a nice lunch dish, so this is what I came up with for our Isolation 2020 lunch.

Ingredients

500g of sliced/diced cooked chicken
2 Tablespoon mango chutney
1-2 Tablespoons sultanas
1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
3 Teaspoons mild curry paste/powder
4 Tablespoons good mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons sour cream or yoghurt
1 Tablespoon chopped macadamia nuts
1 Tablespoon chopped celery
Salt & Pepper

To garnish

Chopped chives
Lettuce cups


Method

In a small bowl, mix the mayo, yoghurt, curry powder, cinnamon, chutney and sultanas together, season with salt and pepper

Combine chicken, nuts, celery with mayo mixture.

Serve in lettuce cups topped with chopped chives.
