A chicken salad fit for a Queen (or a King!).
Slivered almonds provide crunch.
A mixture of cooked chicken and creamy curry-flavored dressing is often served either on a salad or as the filling of a sandwich. The strong curry flavor combined with the sweet and creamy dressing is thought to represent the hearty traditional flavors of England along with the popular spicy flavors of Indian foods found throughout the UK.
The credit for the invention of coronation chicken is most often given to the Cordon Bleu School of Cookery in London, and was created to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The dish regained some popularity when Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. Although this recipe serves the chicken on some tender lettuce, it makes a fantastic filling for sandwiches—ideally some hearty sourdough.
This dish is fantastic for a picnic, in tea sandwiches alongside some strong tea, or as a meal-sized salad. If you're looking for something to serve alongside it other than a pot of tea, consider a rosé, or a white wine that has just a hint of sweetness.
