Coronation Chicken
Report
Coronation Chicken is a dish, originally created for Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953. This recipe is a recreation of the classic British Royal dish. It's a curried chicken salad that is delicious and easy to make! It can be served as a salad, tea sandwich or in a lettuce wrap for a snack, or meal.

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on the stove over medium heat.
- Add the shallots, bay leaf and curry powder, cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and chicken broth, bring to a simmer.
- Add the lemon juice, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
- Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise and creme fraiche to the curry sauce and stir until it's smooth and creamy.
- Add the finely chopped apricots, cooked, shredded chicken and almonds. Toss until everything is coated in the curry sauce.
- Serve on top of butter lettuce, on toast, in a baked potato, or make the salad into tea sandwiches.
Notes
- This recipe will serve 4 people as a meal, or 8-10 people as an appetizer, or tea party snack.
- The coronation chicken recipe is naturally gluten free. Serve it on gluten free bread, in baked potatoes or lettuce wraps, to make a gluten free meal or snack.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I do not recommend heating up the coronation chicken before serving. Instead, I recommend serving it cold, as a salad, lettuce wrap or sandwich.
