Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cooked chicken breast
- 150 grams mayonnaise (sugar-free)
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 30 grams almond flakes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cooked chicken breast. If it is not already cooked, season the chicken with salt and pepper, and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked. Let it cool and then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, ground turmeric, ground cumin, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are smoothly combined to create the dressing.
Add in the chopped, cooked chicken pieces to the bowl with the dressing. Toss the chicken until it is thoroughly coated in the spiced dressing.
Lightly toast the almond flakes in a dry frying pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring often until they are golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Gently fold in the toasted almond flakes and chopped fresh coriander into the chicken mixture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the coronation chicken to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh coriander if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature. This can be enjoyed on its own, as a filling in lettuce wraps, or atop a fresh salad.
