Jubilee chicken
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jubilee Chicken can refer to one of two chicken dishes created to celebrate the jubilees of different monarchs. The first version of Jubilee Chicken was created for the silver jubilee of George V in 1935, and was based on mayonnaise and curry. This has largely now been superseded by coronation chicken. The second version of Jubilee Chicken was created for Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee in 2002. This version was radically different from coronation chicken and was highly publicised at the time as a modern evolution of coronation chicken. Jubilee Chicken was distributed in hampers to guests at the concerts for the Golden Jubilee. In spite of both of these, its popularity has remained relatively limited compared to coronation chicken.
[edit] Description
Jubilee Chicken is a cold dish consisting of pieces of chicken in a white-coloured sauce dusted with parsley and lime segments. The sauce is a mixture of creme fraiche and mayonnaise flavoured with lime and ginger; the chicken is also marinated in a combination of lime and ginger before being mixed with the sauce. Jubilee Chicken has a distinctive light, fresh taste. It is recommended to be served with pasta salad. Unlike coronation chicken, Jubilee Chicken is not served as a sandwich filling.
