Traditional Coronation Chicken | Original Recipe | Anniversary Recipe

This mix of cooked chicken and creamy curry dressing is often served on a bed of lettuce or in sandwiches. The strong curry flavour combined with the sweet and creamy dressing is seen as a representation of the hearty traditional flavours of England along with the popular spicy flavours of Indian dishes found throughout the UK.

Coronation chicken is usually credited with the invention of the Cordon Bleu School of Cookery in London and was created to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The dish became popular again when Elizabeth celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. Although this recipe serves the chicken on some tender lettuce it makes a fantastic filling for sandwiches ideally on some hearty sourdough bread.
