Healthy Coronation Chick’n Sandwich

These colourful vegan coronation chicken sandwiches feature vegan chick’n pieces in a creamy, sweet and spicy coronation sauce, served with quick and easy pickled red onions and baby leaf lettuce on crusty farmhouse bread.  The sauce for this lighter version of a British favourite is made with coconut yoghurt for a healthier take on the original which is usually made with mayonnaise.

The easy sauce contains a delicious blend of spices, mango chutney and juicy sultanas combined with a coconut yoghurt base and takes just a few minutes to whip up into a tasty Meat Free Monday lunch.  It’s lightly spicy with a hint of mango sweetness that pairs beautifully with the pickled red onions on fresh farmhouse bread for a delicious vegan take on this classic sandwich that tastes just like the real thing!

The pickled red onions are a great addition and so easy to make – thanks to the lovely Lucy Watson for the inspiration for these.
