Coronation Chicken Recipe!

Okay, two posts in one day. Unheard of. Luckily this is just a real quick one!

I have discovered a dish over here in the UK, one that is particularly delicious on a sandwich with brie cheese and lettuce, but can also be eaten on its own or in baked potatoes or wraps. This dish is called coronation chicken, and it's similar to chicken salad, I suppose. It's essentially baked chicken pieces in a mayo-based curry sauce, with various and sundry herbs and spices added in as you please. It supposedly was created some sixty years ago by the royal cooks for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Hence the name.

It don't look like much...but it is actually DELICIOUS.

ANYHOOS. Here is the recipe, if you wanted to make it for yourself. This is where I'm going to get the recipe for when I try to make it back in the States.

INGREDIENTS

• Shredded Chicken from a medium sized pre-roasted chicken
• 3 tbsp Mayo
• Mild curry powder to taste
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• Ground Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Mango chutney (optional)
• sultanas - as many as you fancy (optional)

PREPARATION

1. Mix the mayo, curry powder, cinnamon, black pepper, chutney and sultanas together. Altering quantities to your preferred taste
2. Mix the combined ingredients with the shredded chicken
3. Serve with baked potatoes, wraps, sandwiches etc
   
   Enjoy!
