Historic reason behind Coronation Chicken getting its nameĪs far as the recipe is concerned it's pretty straight-forward and even simpler than the Coronation Quiche set to be served at King Charles III's coronation next month. We made King Charles' official Coronation quiche for just £4 - but came across one big problem The dish is believed to have been inspired by jubilee chicken which was served at the coronation of George V, Queen Elizabeth II's grandfather, back in 1935.
Although it's a staple on one of those sandwich platters you're presented with during the lunch break of a training day, it's always one I've shied away from.Ĭoronation chicken, more eloquently known as Poulet Reine Elizabeth, was created back in 1953 by Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume who were tasked with preparing the food for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. You either love it or you hate it, or - like me - it's a filling you've never dared to try because of its disconcerting appearance which seems all too similar to the contents of a poorly toddler's nappy. I've always considered coronation chicken to be the marmite of the sandwich filler world.
