Coronation Chicken Sandwich Recipe

British · Main course · 35 min total

A classic British sandwich filling inspired by the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, featuring tender chicken in a creamy, mildly spiced curry sauce with apricot and almond crunch.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons mango chutney
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon tomato paste
• 1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 8 slices white or whole wheat bread
• Butter or margarine, softened (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, rub with olive oil, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Let cool, then dice into small cubes.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mango chutney, curry powder, tomato paste, yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add diced chicken, chopped apricots, and toasted almonds to the dressing. Stir gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
4. To assemble sandwiches, spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread if desired. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among 4 slices of bread, top with remaining slices, and cut diagonally. Serve immediately or wrap for later.

Tips

• For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half the mayonnaise.
• The filling can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
• Add a handful of fresh coriander or sliced green grapes for extra freshness.
• Serve with a side salad or crisps for a complete meal.
