Coronation Chicken

Feb 05, 2024

By Esther Boateng

Dine like a Queen tonight and impress your loved ones with this royal-worthy meal made with tender chicken, seasoned with heartwarming spices such as cinnamon and turmeric, delicately sweetened with plump apricots, and garnished with rich tangy feta cheese or a handful of crushed nuts. This popular British dish is traditionally made with heaps of mayonnaise but if you can’t find a clean brand like Primal Kitchen, or you’re like me and prefer the subtle taste of crème fraiche instead, go for it. I prefer to enjoy this meal warm, but it can also be enjoyed as a chilled salad.

Recipe Note

Tips:

Turn over the chicken halfway through cooking time. The onions can be removed before the chicken is done or left to soak up the chicken juices.

If you want to marinate the chicken the night before, place the chicken in a glass storage container and season with the vegetable powders.
