Delicious Coronation chicken but without any high carb ingredients such as dried fruits or mango chutney. You honestly will not miss the fruit in this Coronation chicken, as it still has the lovely mild curry flavour, the crunch and sweet zing coming from lime juice!

Perfect for topping jacket potato, crackers, Scottish oatcakes, celery sticks, in a sandwich, or as part of a salad.

This recipe only suggests flaked almonds as a garnish. If you do not like or cannot eat nuts then please feel free to omit them, as the recipe itself is nut free.
