The British classic created for the Queen's coronation: shredded chicken in a creamy, gently curried sauce sweetened with mango chutney and dried apricot, piled into sandwiches with peppery greens.

Ingredients

• 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about ½ bird)
• ½ cup Greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp mango chutney
• 3 tbsp finely chopped dried apricots
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 8 slices bread
• 3 oz watercress or spring mix

From your pantry: ½ cup mayo, 1 tbsp curry powder, 2 tsp tomato paste, 1 tsp lemon juice, salt, pepper.

Instructions

1. Toast the curry powder in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Tip into a bowl at once so it doesn't scorch.
2. Whisk in the mayo, yogurt, chutney (chop any big mango pieces), tomato paste and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Fold in the chicken, apricots and cilantro until everything is coated. Taste and add more chutney or curry if you like.
4. Pile onto 4 slices of bread with a handful of greens, top with the other slices and cut into halves or triangles.

Tip: A handful of toasted sliced almonds stirred in at the end is traditional and adds a great crunch.
