Coronation chicken is a dish generally used to fill sandwiches and rolls in the United Kingdom. It was first created by florist Constance Spry and chef Rosemary Hume for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Spry published the recipe in the popular Constance Spry Cookery Book of 1956. Hume and Spry were almost certainly inspired by jubilee chicken, a dish prepared for the silver jubilee of George V in 1935, which mixed the chicken in mayonnaise and curry. Other, older recipes for cold chicken and curry sauce also exist, so the origin of the dish could date back even further. Furthermore, following in this pattern, for the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2004, another celebratory dish was devised, also called jubilee chicken.

Coronation chicken is a combination of herbs and spices, with precooked cold chicken meat and a creamy mayonnaise-based sauce. Normally a bright yellow colour, coronation chicken is traditionally flavoured with curry powder or sauce; although today more sophisticated versions of the recipe are often made, using fresh herbs and spices, and adding new ingredients such as almonds, raisins, and crème fraîche.
