Ingredients

To cook the chicken:

650 g Chicken breasts x4 breasts
3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp Mild curry powder

For the sauce:

6 tbsp Mayonnaise
2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
2 tbsp Mango chutney
2 tsp Mild curry powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp Dried apricots Chopped

To serve:

2 tbsp Flaked toasted almonds

Instructions

To cook the chicken breasts:

Preheat the oven to 200C.
Mix the Greek yoghurt and curry powder with the chicken until it’s coated well.
Grease some foil with olive oil on a baking tray. Place the chicken on top.
Roast this for about 18 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Leave to cool.

To make the coronation chicken:

Shred, slice or chop the chicken.
Put the chicken into a large bowl with the rest of the sauce ingredients and mix until well combined.
Sprinkle over the almonds to serve.

Notes

Sultanas: If you prefer yours with sultanas, feel free to use these instead of apricots

Precooked chicken: If you have some cooked chicken to use up, go ahead and mix this into the sauce ingredients. It might not have quite the same depth of flavour but it will still be delicious

Serving suggestions: As well as the traditional sandwich, you could also enjoy it in wraps or flatbreads, in a salad or even in a jacket potato

Slicing: You can either chop the chicken into chunks to the size you like it, or you can shred it up with two forks once it’s been cooked.

To freeze: As long as you freeze this soon after cooking, you can keep it frozen until you want to eat it, and then enjoy it cold. No need for reheating.
