That’s why we love meal prep recipes like this Curry Chicken Salad! Also called Coronation Chicken Salad (because it was served at Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953!), it’s your classic chicken salad, but with a sweet curry flavor and the crunch of carrots and almonds. You can customize it however you like, too!
Like regular chicken salad, this one has shredded chicken, mayonniase, nuts and lemon. The traditional recipe for Coronation Chicken also includes carrots, chutney, dried apricots or raisins, ketchup and coriander leaves (AKA cilantro).
This is a healthier version of the original Coronation Salad. We kept the carrots and cilantro, but skipped the sweet, fruity additions. (You can add those if you like! Some people add sliced grapes, too.)
