Coronation chicken recipe

Coronation chicken recipe

What I have done here is take a popular British classic and given it a modern twist.  This traditional Royal buffet dish gives a nod to the far East by using five spice, ginger and lime while mixing the mayonnaise with yoghurt makes sure it is not too rich.  This is a perfect dish for a street party, a lunch with friends or even as a sandwich filler.  Enjoy!
