Fuss Free (& Healthier) Coronation Chicken

Coronation chicken yogurt sauce

A while ago I was sent a bag of Total Greek Yogurt to try, and one of the dishes I made was some coronation chicken made with leftovers from the previous nights roast.   When buying my chicken I was amazed that my small local Sainsbury’s had two breeds of free range chicken for sale, I am sure that this is largely down to the work of the Chicken Out Campaign, annoyingly I made this so long ago I cannot remember which chicken I bought.

There are dozens of coronation chicken recipes out there, many are laden with fat and calories, I wanted to make something lighter with a lower fat base to the sauce, I know that lots of low fat versions of regular foods are stuffed full of sugary carbs so I try to avoid them.     Here I used 1/3 regular mayonnaise* with 2/3 total 0% Greek yogurt to make a creamy base for the sauce, it tastes almost exactly the same as pure mayonnaise but has about a third of the fat and the healthy probiotic cultures.      I used Steenberg’s Organic Curry Powder to flavour the sauce, I do usually make my curry by mixing my own spices, but a blend does give the perfect Anglo-Indian flavour for this dish, and is perfect if you are in a hurry.   Steenbergs also have an extensive range of regional curry powder blends.   You can leave the chicken out and use the sauce as a dip.

Coronation Chicken (Serves 2)

Left over roasted chicken (chopped)
1 tbs mayonnaise
2 tbs 0% Greek yogurt
1 heaped tsp curry powder (more or less to taste)
Splash boiling water
1 tbs chutney
6 dried apricots chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt and curry powder together, if needed add a splash of boiling water to thin the sauce.    Stir in the chutney, apricots (if using) and chicken.   Season to taste with salt and pepper.   I served with green leaves and tomato.

* I do make mayonnaise, but my standard to go fridge staple is Hellmanns.   I think it is the best tasting of the ready made mayonnaises and is made with free range eggs.

    Really impressed with this @rodandbens Thai chicken soup. Delicious. Organic also means free range happy chickens too.
