Coronation chicken was created in 1953 for a banquet to celebrate the crowning of the Queen, and it’s still popular today. We’ve updated the classic to include fresh mango and radish for added colour, flavour and texture. It’s the perfect salad choice for special occasions.

Instructions

1

Whisk almond milk and curry powder in a deep frying pan or large saucepan to combine. Stir in eschalot, garlic and ginger. Add chicken and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, turning chicken halfway through, or until cooked through (juices should run clear when the thickest part of the chicken is pierced with a knife or skewer). Transfer chicken to a plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside to cool slightly, then shred or thinly slice.

Meanwhile, to make dressing, whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Divide lettuce, radishes, mango and chicken evenly among 4 plates. Drizzle with dressing. Scatter over almonds and extra coriander to serve.
