Coronation chicken

A trashy-but-unashamed retro classic and brilliant use of leftover roast chicken. Wrap it in lettuce leaves, top toast with it, put it on a salad, make a mega-sandwich. Feeds 2.

  • 1 large, cooked chicken breast or equivalent amount, sliced and diced into approx 1cm cubes
  • 4 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted
  • 2 tbsp plain yoghurt (or substitute plain coconut yoghurt)
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 heaped tbsp mango chutney
  • 1-2 tsp medium curry powder
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Literally just mix everything together and you’re good to go. Sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves and eat it.

BUT ALSO… a recent innovation I’ve just discovered that blew my tiny mind is using chickpeas instead of chicken. It’s coronation chickpeas! Incredibly yum. Just drain a tin of chickpeas and crush them roughly with a potato masher. Mix with all the other ingredients, plus a handful of packaged crispy fried onions. Tuck. IN.
