how do i make coronation chicken?

[knickers0nmahead]

i love coronation chicken but have no idea how to make it. Please help?

Would love to know too. A friend in Spain decided to have an M&S party 'cos there is no M7S store locally to her. She made all the sandwich fillings how she recalled them from a few years back and coronation chicken was among them. Am having a party this week end and would love to make them, they were delicious

I just mix up mayonaise, mango chutney and some garam masala, add some sultanas/dried apricots and the chicken. Keep tasting to make sure you've got it right (any excuse).
I also do a low fat version with fromage frais/natural yoghurt.
I love Coronation Chicken

I have yoghurt so will have to use that. No mango chutney though.

Hope it's not too late to reply, but proper coronation chicken ISN'T just curried mayonnaise with a bit of cream/yoghurt added, which is far too cloying, it's actually made from sauce Elizabeth (created for her coronation!)As the original sauce involves poaching a chicken then using the stock and I do it using rotisserie chickens generally on offer from the local supermarket, I have adapted the sauce. You needed to sweat two large diced onions in a tablspoon of oil,and then add a heaped serving spoon of flour, stir it in then and cook it for two mins then add a pint of water with two chicken stock cubes, stirring all the time, basically you are making a gravy!(I have used leftover gravy in the past). While the sauce is hot add a teacupful of redcurrant jelly (you COULD use mango chutney), and a teacupful of Branston, If you fancy you could add a sachet of coconut cream (v.fattening tho).Add a small carton of single cream then curry paste (any one will do) to taste. I have fried curry powder in the onion mix before now (instead of curry paste)but as you can't really tell the strength of powder until it's cooked, I prefer the paste (ready cooked powder) which gives me more control.Let the mixture cool before adding a small jar of mayonnaise, then chopped chicken. I find that 10 chickens and quadruple the amount of sauce will feed 40ish people.
