Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and curry powder to the pan, stirring constantly for another minute to release the aromas.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add the white wine and let it simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled onion mixture with dairy-free mayonnaise, mango chutney, and lemon juice. Stir in the sultanas, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the sauce. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated.
Serve the coronation chicken garnished with fresh coriander. It can be enjoyed cold as a filling for sandwiches, over a bed of greens as a salad, or as part of a picnic spread.
