Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp Onion
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 2 Tsp Curry powder
  • 1 Tsp Tomato paste
  • 60 ML Red wine
  • 60 ML Water
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/4 Tsp Sugar
  • 200 G Mayonnaise
  • 125 G Creme fraiche
  • 1 Tbsp Dried apricots
  • 2 Shredded chicken breasts
  • Salt & pepper
  • 3 Tbsp Toasted almond flakes

Instructions

  • Warm olive oil in a large pan on low heat. Cook the onion, bay leaf, and curry powder for 2 minutes.
  • Bring the tomato paste, red wine, and water to a gentle boil. Add lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Simmer for 2 minutes to thicken the sauce. Mix the sauce, mayonnaise, crème fraiche, and apricots in a bowl.
  • Mix in the cooked chicken breast. Lastly, add almond flakes. Serve it.

Tips

  • If you want to lighten things up a little more, swap the cream for Greek yoghurt.
  • The coronation chicken goes well with salad, rice, or as a stuffing for jacket potatoes and sandwiches.
  • You can grill or steam the skinless chicken breasts for the cooked chicken meat.
  • You can store coronation chicken leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to two days.
  • To make it egg-free, you could use mayonnaise without eggs. 
  • Chicken must be cooked to the right temperature to avoid becoming tough and dry.
  • Don't crowd chicken pieces together when cooking. Leaving space between them will help them brown and cook more evenly.
