About Coronation chicken

Coronation Chicken is a British dish created in 1953 for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. It combines cooked chicken with a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, curry powder, and often apricots, raisins, or chutney for sweetness and depth. While traditional recipes vary, a typical serving can provide a balance of protein from chicken, fats from the dressing, and carbohydrates from added fruits. Depending on preparation, the dish is moderately calorie-dense, with around 250-300 calories per 100g serving. It contains protein for muscle repair, but the nutritional profile reflects higher fat and sugar due to the sauce additives. Often enjoyed in sandwiches, salads, or jacket potatoes, Coronation Chicken is a versatile and culturally significant dish.
