Ingredients Needed:

• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ⅓ cup sultana raisins
• 1 (1 pound) large mango, peeled, thinly sliced
• ⅔ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon mild curry powder
• 1 tablespoon mango chutney
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
• ¾ cup toasted cashews (Optional)

How To Make Coronation Chicken Recipe?

1. Cook the chicken: Boil a pot of lightly salted water. Add the chicken breasts and simmer for 20 minutes until fully cooked. Drain, let cool, and cut into ½-inch strips.
2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, sultana raisins, and half of the mango slices.
3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, curry powder, mango chutney, and lemon juice. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Combine everything: Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until well coated. Stir in half of the cashews.
5. Garnish and serve: Transfer to a serving plate, top with the remaining mango slices and cashews, and serve cold or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips:

• Poach the chicken properly: Keep the water at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. This keeps the chicken tender and juicy instead of tough.
• Let the chicken cool before mixing: Warm chicken can make the mayo dressing watery. Let it cool completely before adding the sauce.
• Use a good-quality mango chutney: A flavorful chutney makes a big difference in taste. Pick one with a rich, fruity flavor and mild spice.
• Adjust the curry powder to taste: If you prefer a stronger curry flavor, add a little more. If making for kids, start with less and add gradually.
• Toast the cashews for extra crunch: Lightly toast the cashews in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to bring out their nutty flavor before adding them.

How To Store Leftovers?

First, let the leftover Coronation Chicken cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
