What will today (Monday) bring? Unfortunately for many it will be a very wet day with rain in the forecast but never mind lets concentrate on a lovely dish that may bring some sunshine and a delicious taste to your day đ
Did you know that back in 1953 a dish called Coronation chicken was first created to celebrate the Queen's coronation and has been a firm favourite ever since.
Fast forward to 2023 and King Charles III Coronation, perhaps it's time to sit down and enjoy some Coronation Chicken.
Serves Six
1 chicken stock cube
500 g (British) chicken breast fillet
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp mild curry powder
1 tbsp tomato purée
0.5 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp apricot jam
Zest and juice of ½ a washed, un-waxed lemon
100 ml (lighter) mayonnaise
100 ml 2% fat natural yogurt
60 g flaked almonds
2 tbsp washed and chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Fresh watercress leaves, washed, to garnish
Here is how to make the dish
1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the stock cube and stir to dissolve. Reduce to a simmer and poach the chicken breasts for 5-10 minutes (depending on the size of the fillets) until cooked through and no pink colour remains. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to cool before shredding. Discard the stock.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion for about 10 minutes, until softened. Stir in the curry powder, tomato purée, cider vinegar and jam, and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and spoon into a large bowl.
3. Add the shredded chicken along with the lemon zest and juice, mayonnaise, yogurt, ⅔ of the flaked almonds and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and stir until well coated.
4. To serve, place on a serving platter and garnish with the watercress and remaining almonds and parsley.
Optional - Serve with some crusty white bread.

A recipe to try for sure.
The Coronation Chicken recipe really sounds delicious! I love how it is quite simple and quick to make, and pairs well with greens. I hope you are enjoying your bank holiday. I did not get to see any of the coronation ceremony, but heard it was lovely. Enjoy your day off dear friend, and thank you for your lovely visits to my blog :)
I enjoyed a Coronation Chicken sandwich whilst enjoying a sunny sunday day out during the Coronation Celebration weekend.
Sounds tasty.
Thanks for the recipe, that sure looks healthy and good!

A friend suggested that the "grim reaper" who briefly appeared during the coronation was in fact me. :)
