Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil providing a light and neutral base for cooking.
- Salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the flavors and adding a perfect balance of seasoning.
- 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts, ensuring tender and juicy meat.
For the dressing:
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce providing a savory and umami depth to the dressing.
- Juice of 1/2 lemon adding a refreshing and citrusy zing to brighten the flavors.
- 1 tablespoon mango chutney infusing a sweet and fruity element with a hint of spiciness.
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup lending a touch of tanginess and subtle sweetness.
- 75 g mayonnaise creating a creamy and indulgent texture.
- 75 g Greek yogurt adding a tangy and velvety smoothness to the dressing.
- 1 tablespoon curry powder offering a warm and aromatic flavor profile.
For the add-ins:
- 37.5 g sultanas introducing a burst of natural sweetness to complement the savory elements.
- 37.5 g toasted almonds delivering a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor.
- Small handful of fresh cilantro finely chopped, contributing a vibrant and herbaceous note to the dish.
Optional for garnish:
- Fresh cilantro leaves enhancing the visual appeal and adding a fresh herbal aroma.
- Toasted almonds adding an extra layer of texture and nutty richness to the presentation.
Instructions
- First, you need to season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat up the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to it and cook them for about 10 minutes or until they are browned on both sides. Once cooked, remove from heat and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and let cool.
- While the chicken is cooling, in a large bowl combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mango chutney, curry powder, tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice; mix well so all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cut the chicken breasts into cubes or strips and add to the dressing mixture; toss to evenly coat.
- Finally, add the toasted almonds, sultanas, and cilantro; mix well so everything is evenly distributed. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly before slicing it into cubes. The internal temperature should read 75°C when measured with a food thermometer.
- Adjust the amount of curry powder and Worcestershire sauce according to your preference.
- Toast the almonds in advance, as it takes only a few minutes to do so.
- If you are short on time, you can use store-bought mayonnaise instead of making it from scratch.
- Serve the coronation chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or a bed of rice for an easy and delicious meal.
