Notes

This homemade Coronation Chicken will keep for 2 days in the fridge.
Serve your Coronation Chicken in sandwiches, with a salad and rice, as a filling for a baked potato, stuffed into a wrap with some salad and with pasta too. Make this a party dish by serving in canapes or vol au vents.
This creamy curry sauce is also great with lobster or prawns.
