Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken breasts — Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate. For best results, marinate overnight.
- Greek yogurt — Opt for a thick and creamy Greek yogurt for a rich and tangy sauce.
- Mango chutney — Look for a good quality mango chutney with a balance of sweetness and tanginess.
- Fresh herbs — Use fresh cilantro (coriander) and mint for a burst of freshness in the dish.
- Toasted almonds — Toast the almonds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown for added crunch and nuttiness.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the marinade.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of curry powder in the sauce.
- Customize the dish by adding diced mango or raisins to the sauce for extra sweetness.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dish can be served as a main course, in sandwiches, or as a salad topping.
Serving advice
Serve the Coronation Chicken on a bed of fluffy basmati rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and mint. Accompany it with warm naan bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the sliced grilled chicken on a platter and drizzle the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, mint, and toasted almonds for an attractive and vibrant presentation.
