Healthier Coronation Chicken


  • Author: Marie Bostwick
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 T mild curry powder
  • 1 T tomato paste
  • 1 T water
  • ½ small lemon
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • Bay leaf
  • ¼ cup all fruit or low sugar apricot spread
  • ¾ cup plain, nonfat Greek Yogurt
  • ¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 3 T whipping cream (optional)
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Place oil in a heavy bottomed pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Cook onions in oil for approximately 4 minutes, until they are soft and translucent. Add curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper to onions, stir to coat onions and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Lower heat. Add tomato paste, water, bay leaf, juice of the half lemon, and red wine to pan and simmer for about 5 minutes, until liquid is reduced. Turn off heat. Remove bay leaf and stir apricot spread into the mixture.
  3. Place the onion and apricot mixture into a bowl with yogurt and mayonnaise and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If using, whip the cream into firm peaks, then fold into cooled mixture.
  4. Combine the cook chicken in a large bowl with the sauce, stir to combine. Can serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to use later. Will store covered in refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
