Vegan coronation chicken sandwich is a recreation of the traditional coronation sandwich.

Coronation chicken sandwiches have been a British traditional favourite since 1953.

It is a royal sandwich filling that was especially created for the coronation lunch of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.

The recipe was devised by the London Le Cordon Bleu culinary school.

The traditional ingredients for coronation chicken include curry powder, dried apricots, chicken pieces, a creamy sauce, and toasted almonds.

Vegan Coronation chicken

This plant-based recipe includes the traditional ingredients but substitutes the meat and dairy with chickpeas and kidney beans, soya yogurt and plant-based mayonnaise.

Although if preferred vegan Quorn pieces or other meat-free pieces can be used instead of chickpeas and kidney beans.

Vegan coronation chicken is fruity, sweet, spicy, creamy, crunchy and nutty.

Packed full of umami plant-based tastiness!

My teenage son loves these wraps for school pack lunch.

Ingredients

For the vegan coronation chicken:

1 can chickpeas 400g/14 oz drained and dried. Just pat dry with a paper towel or similar.
1 can kidney beans 400g/14 oz drained and dried. Also give the chickpeas and kidney beans a wash under running water especially if canned in salt and to remove can juices.
6 whole dried apricots chopped. Use a few extra if liked
10 tbsp soya yogurt or other vegan plain yogurt
3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise shop bought, or homemade see Notes
1 tbsp mango chutney extra if desired
1 tsp tomato puree
2 tsp curry powder I use a mild but for more spice use medium or hot!
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp dried ginger

For assembling the sandwich:

40 grams flaked almonds
25 grams fresh coriander 1 oz.
100 grams mixed salad leaves such as baby spinach, baby chard, baby kale, etc. Serve the extra salad on the side.
4 tortilla wraps Or bread of your choice. Alternatively use the coronation chickpeas and kidney beans as a filling for baked potatoes or romaine lettuce leaf's

Instructions

Dry toast the curry powder, cinnamon, and ginger in a small fry pan over a medium heat for 5-8 minutes.
Shake and stir frequently so the spices gently toast evenly.
Tip the spices into a mixing bowl and set aside.
Add the almonds to the pan and toast in the same fashion as the spices until the almonds become tinged with golden colours and crisp up.
Set aside.
Add the yogurt, mayonnaise, tomato puree, and mango chutney to the bowl with the spices.
Mix.
Add the chickpeas, kidney beans and chopped apricots.
Stir.
Check the seasoning.
Add a pinch of salt if liked.
Add extra mango chutney if desired.
Place in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Assemble:

Remove the filling from the fridge.
To each tortilla or bread sandwich add some salad leaves and scoop some filling over. Sprinkle some almonds and coriander over.
If using tortilla wraps fold and wrap it up.
Check the back of the tortilla packet as often there are easy instructions for how to wrap it up.
Slice each wrap vertically.
If making a sandwich just add another slice and cut into 2 pieces! Triangles are always nice!
Serve with any extra salad.
