This Dish was Invented for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II In 1953...
Coronation chicken. And it's still a popular British recipe served today. It was invented by Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume, who were principals of the Cordon Bleu School in London. Their recipe simply called for pre-cooked cold chicken meat, herbs, spices and creamy mayo-based sauce. Curry powder is what gives it that golden, mustard-y hue, and today it can be eaten as a salad or in sandwiches.
