Chicken Coronation Recipe Mary Berry

What is the Mary Berry Coronation Chicken?

This Mary Berry Chicken Coronation is a slightly different recipe than the original dish that made its way into Buckingham Palace. While the traditional Coronation Chicken recipe often features ingredients like apricot puree and mango chutney, Mary Berry’s version opts for the simplicity and brightness of apricot jam. Additionally, using lemon zest and juice in this recipe adds a zesty, citrusy dimension that sets it apart from the classic.

The recipe begins with succulent cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces, ready to soak up the delicious sauce. What sets this version apart is the addition of apricot jam, which lends a subtle sweetness that beautifully contrasts with the rich mayonnaise and half-fat fresh cream. A generous sprinkling of curry powder adds an irresistible depth of flavour, while a touch of tomato purée adds a delightful tang.

But here’s the twist: Mary Berry’s recipe introduces a zesty kick with lemon juice and finely grated lemon zest, infusing the dish with a refreshing citrusy note. Spring onions add a gentle bite, and the crowning glory – halved black or green seedless grapes – brings a burst of juicy sweetness and texture.
