The first time i made Coronation Chicken Sandwiches was after trying them at a brunch spread, and honestly going back for seconds before I even finished the first one. The creamy curry dressing mixed with chicken sounded a little unexpected at first, but once everything came together, it just worked.
The chicken stays creamy and flavorful while the curry dressing adds warmth without being overpowering. Then the little bits of sweetness from the raisins balance everything out really well. It’s one of those sandwich fillings that feels slightly different from the usual chicken salad but still really easy to make. If you already enjoy recipes like Chicken Salad Sandwich, Curried Egg Salad Sandwich, or Ham Brie And Apple Sandwiches, these coronation chicken sandwiches fit perfectly into that homemade lunch rotation.
Why You Will Love These Coronation Chicken Sandwiches
What I love most about these sandwiches is the creamy curry flavor mixed into the chicken without becoming too strong or spicy.
The filling also stays soft and rich while the raisins add little sweet bites throughout.
Another thing I like is that the recipe works for lunch, brunch, tea sandwiches, or meal prep really easily.
It’s also great for using leftover chicken without making the same basic chicken salad again honestly.
What You Will Need For Coronation Chicken Sandwiches
A large mixing bowl works best for combining the filling evenly without smashing the chicken too much.
You’ll also need a sharp knife for chopping the chicken into smaller pieces.
A spoon or spatula helps mix the dressing properly through the filling.
If you want cleaner tea sandwich slices, a serrated knife honestly works really well.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon mango chutney
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- 8 slices bread
- Lettuce leaves
How To Make The Sandwiches
Add the chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, mango chutney, raisins, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt into a large bowl.
Mix everything together until evenly combined.
Spread the filling onto bread slices.
Add lettuce leaves if using.
Top with another slice of bread and serve.
I usually chill the filling for a little while before making the sandwiches because honestly the flavor gets even better once cold. These coronation chicken sandwiches also go really well with Mixed Cucumber Salad, Strawberry Lemonade, or even Strawberry Sweet Iced Tea if you want something fresh on the side.
Tips For Coronation Chicken Sandwiches
Rotisserie chicken works really well here for faster prep.
Start with less curry powder first if you prefer milder flavor.
Soft bread works especially well for tea sandwich style versions honestly.
Toasted almonds also taste really good mixed into the filling for extra crunch.
