A Classic Coronation Chicken Salad is so easy and delicious. Moist, juicy chicken is tossed in a curried sauce sweetened with mango chutney and topped with crunchy toasted almonds and fresh herbs.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 boneless chicken thighs skinless
- 2 tablespoon curry paste
- 3 tablespoon mango chutney
- 190 grams (⅔ cup) plain yogurt e.g., Greek yogurt
- 190 grams (⅔ cup) mayonnaise
- 2 spring onions /salad onions
- 4 tablespoon flaked almonds
- 4 tablespoon coriander
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 185C/365F.
- Spread the chicken thighs flat on a greased oven tray. Drizzle more oil over the top and season with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer measures the internal temperature at 74C/165F.
- In one frying pan, quickly fry the curry paste for 1-2 minutes until it is fragrant, then transfer it to a large mixing bowl. In a separate frying pan, toast the flaked almonds until they are browned. Alternatively, do this in the oven on a tray but watch that they do not burn.
- Mix the cooked curry paste with the mayonnaise, yogurt, lime juice, and mango chutney.
- Chop the chicken thighs into thin pieces or shred them with two forks. Mix them into the coronation dressing.
- Plate the coronation chicken salad on a serving platter and top with the toasted flaked almonds, chopped coriander leaves, amd slices of spring onion.
Notes
For more of a crispy crust on your chicken, preheat the greased tray so that the oil is hot before adding the chicken thighs.
Alternatively, you can use leftover cooked chicken in this recipe.
