Coronation Chicken has become a favourite English dish. The original recipe was created by Le Cordon Blue London for a coronation lunch in honour of the new Queen Elizabeth II in January 1953 and recently found new popularity after the coronation of King Charles III. It was originally a simple poached chicken in a creamy curry sauce but our YPI chefs have given it a new twist by adding mango chutney, couscous and cooling cucumber to the mild creamy chicken salad.
