Easy Coronation Chicken Recipe
March 11, 2026
A classic British recipe mix with coriander seed, cumin and turmeric for delicious Coronation Chicken. Coronation Chicken was invented for the foreign guests who were to be entertained after Her Majesty the Queen's Coronation in June 1953. The food had to be prepared in advance, and Constance Spry proposed a recipe of cold chicken in a mild and creamy curry sauce to be served with a dressed salad of rice, peas and mixed herbs. The recipe won the approval of the Minister of Works and has since been known as Coronation Chicken.
