Coronation Chicken
Originally called Poulet Reine Elizabeth, the storied dish now known as coronation chicken dates back to January 1953, when it was first prepared for Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation luncheon. Our recipe features our SIMON JOHNSON Mayonnaise and Tracklements Mango & Chilli chutney as the hero ingredients. Constance Spry, an English food writer and flower arranger and Rosemary Hume, a chef, both principals of the Cordon Bleu Cookery School in London, are credited with the invention of Coronation Chicken.Â
