Coronation chicken is an Indian-style poultry-based dish originating from England. It's usually made with a combination of cooked chicken cut into pieces, mayonnaise, tomato paste, curry powder, onions, chicken stock, lemon juice, yogurt, dried apricots, and oil, although the list of ingredients may vary.
The ingredients are cooked or stir-fried, then combined with the chicken pieces. Before serving, the dish should be refrigerated for at least one hour. It was created in 1953 by Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's coronation.
