Classic Coronation Chicken Salad

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 185C/365F.

Step 2

Spread the chicken thighs flat on a greased oven tray. Drizzle more oil over the top and season with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer measures the internal temperature at 74C/165F.

Step 3

In one frying pan, quickly fry the curry paste for 1-2 minutes until it is fragrant, then transfer it to a large mixing bowl. In a separate frying pan, toast the flaked almonds until they are browned. Alternatively, do this in the oven on a tray but watch that they do not burn.

Step 4

Mix the cooked curry paste with the mayonnaise, yogurt, lime juice, and mango chutney.

Step 5

Chop the chicken thighs into thin pieces or shred them with two forks. Mix them into the coronation dressing.

Step 6

Plate the coronation chicken salad on a serving platter and top with the toasted flaked almonds, chopped coriander leaves, amd slices of spring onion.
