I absolutely love Coronation Chicken. Invented as a recipe for the general public to help them celebrate the Queen’s coronation in 1953, it was meant to deliver luxury and give a nod towards the British Empire, but also be accessible and affordable for the general public in the face of continuing post war frugality. 65 years on it’s incredibly retro and still just as gorgeous.

This is a quick and easy recipe that would be great to get the children involved with and makes great picnic or garden party food.
