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.

Add chicken to the pan and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. add mild curry powder to the pan. Toss to coat the chicken and onions in curry powder and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool.
Mix stock and 1 1⁄2 cups of boiling water together. Place couscous in a bowl and cover with the stock mix. Cover with a lid and let it stand for about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yoghurt/mayo, mango chutney, lime zest and juice (to taste). Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and lime juice. In a dry pan, toast almonds over low heat until light brown and crunchy. Remove from pan and set aside.
To assemble the dish, mix together curried chicken and onions, cucumber, spinach, raisins, chickpeas, most of the coriander and sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper. The chicken can be served on a bed of couscous or if preferred the couscous can be mixed through the creamy chicken. Garnish with remaining coriander and scatter over flaked almonds.
