Coronation chicken sandwich

Created in honour of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, this sandwich consists of only three basic elements – cooked chicken, curry powder and a creamy sauce. Various incarnations have evolved over the years to include their own special add-ins, from raisins, carrots and almonds to the kitchen sink and old boots (OK, maybe not the last two). Here, we’ve taken it back to the basics, but with a little extra tang.
