Chef Tips:

You can use any leaves in this recipe, but I love the mild flavor of lamb’s lettuce. This is also known as “corn salad.” If you cannot source it, use another mild leaf like baby spinach.

Coronation Chicken Salad

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 skinless, deboned chicken breasts (we use Butcher Box meat)
2 TB flaked almonds
3.2 oz mayonnaise
1 tsp curry powder, plus extra pinch for the chicken
2 TB dried cranberries (around 0.4 oz), chopped very small
2 handfuls lamb’s lettuce (around 1.8 oz)
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of curry powder, salt and pepper. Place on the tray and bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely. Once cooled, chop the chicken into very small pieces.
Meanwhile, toast the flaked almonds in a non-stick pan over medium heat, around 2-3 minutes. Once golden, remove the nuts from the pan and set aside.
Combine the mayonnaise with the curry powder and finely chopped cranberries in a bowl.
When the chopped chicken is ready, stir this in too. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the coronation chicken mix over a bed of lamb’s lettuce.
Sprinkle on the toasted almonds and enjoy!
