To make an easy version, start by cooking or using pre-cooked chicken breast, then chop or shred it into bite-sized pieces.

Hello friends, so how are you today? Created for the Queen’s coronation in 1953, what street party would be complete without Coronation Chicken?

Celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday with this Royal recipe from Hellmann’s.

By adding a handful of raisins or sultanas it adds a touch of natural sweetness, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Fold the chicken into the sauce until well coated, ensuring every piece is flavorful and creamy.

For extra texture, you can include toasted almonds or fresh herbs like coriander.

Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours develop fully.

Serve the coronation chicken in crusty bread, over crisp lettuce, or alongside rice for a quick yet delicious meal that feels both comforting and slightly exotic.

1. Firstly, place the chicken in a large saucepan and add the water, 1 onion, carrot, tarragon and bay leaf. Bring to the toil and then simmer slowly, poaching the chicken for 1 hour until cooked. Leave chicken to cool in the liquid. Remove chicken and retain 200ml of the liquid.
2. In a separate frying pan, heat the oil. Cook the remaining onion for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until softened, but not brown. Add the curry powder, tomato puree, muscovado sugar and retained chicken liquid. Bring to the boil and pass through a fine sieve.
3. When completely cool, add the Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise, crème fraiche, lemon juice and sultanas to the curry mix. Shred the chicken into bite-sized portions and mix thoroughly with the coronation sauce.
4. Lay out four slices of the bread, spoon on the chicken spread equally across the 4 sandwiches, sprinkle on some chopped coriander and spring onions. Now top with remaining slices of bread. Serve immediately.
5. Store any remaining chicken mixture in the fridge for extra sandwiches.
