The Best Coronation Chicken Sandwiches
This coronation chicken sandwich is one of the most famous sandwiches for a reason. It's full of flavour, texture, can be made ahead and is absolutely delicious.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the coronation chicken/turkey:
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 2-3 tsp mild curry powder to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp mango chutney
- Small pinch chilli powder optional
- 600 g shredded cooked chicken or turkey
- Salt and pepper
- 8 slices of bread I used a white sourdough loaf
- Lettuce of choice I used iceberg lettuce
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan and add the curry powder. Cook for a few minutes and then add the mango chutney. Leave it to cool.
- Mix the mayonnaise, Greek yoghurt, cooled curry powder and mango chutney, chilli powder (if using) and a generous pinch of salt and pepper together. Taste and adjust seasoning. You can add a little more mango chutney here if you think it needs it; the key is to keep tasting and make sure you like it.
- Add the shredded chicken/turkey and stir to coat it in the sauce.
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Butter both sides of the bread and then toast in the pan until golden on both sides. You could also use the toaster if you prefer.
- Scoop the coronation chicken onto the toasted bread, top with lettuce. Close the sandwiches, slice and enjoy.
