Cooking Steps

Rice On
1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Pour it into a saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.
  • Boil the rice, 10-12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
Get Frying
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, 8-10 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
Flavour Time

  • Warm through, 1 min more. TIP: Add a splash of water if it's a little thick. 
Dinner's Ready!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: Mild, creamy, and gently spiced, with the mango chutney adding a pleasant sweetness. Some find the flavour a little subtle and would like a stronger curry taste.
  • Ease of prep: Straightforward and genuinely quick to pull together, with minimal chopping and only two pans to wash up.
  • Suggestions: Add sultanas, raisins, or dried apricots to bring it closer to a classic coronation chicken flavour; a pinch of chilli flakes can also lift the spice level nicely. Use slightly less water than suggested to keep the sauce from becoming too thin, and add a little cornflour if needed to reach your preferred consistency.
  • Next-day meals: Some felt the chicken-to-rice ratio was uneven, with a little extra chicken or sauce making the dish feel more balanced.
  • Customisation: Cashew nuts, caramelised onions, red pepper, or mushrooms all work well as additions; spinach or green beans can replace peas if preferred.
