Kids Cook: Coronation Chicken Salad with Horlicks! (+ Win Tickets to Buckingham Palace Gala)

With the Royal Wedding just two years ago, the Diamond Jubilee in 2012, and a Royal Baby on the horizon, it seems like non-stop celebrations for the House of Windsor.

And the Queen’s about to get her fancy hat out again for the official 60th anniversary of her Coronation coming up in June.

Another Bank Holiday? We are amused.

To mark the occasion, Horlicks (one of my favourite bedtime tipples as a kid) has come up with a tasty twist on Coronation chicken, adding fresh mango to the mix of curry flavours and crispy salad.

I was invited to try out the recipe with my babes. The instructions below are easy peasy to follow and we had fun making this light, summery dish.

I must admit I was a touch skeptical about putting Horlicks in a salad, but combined with the mango and yoghurt/mayo mix (we used both) on chicken it turned out delicious. The babes munched it straight up — I barely got a look in!
