Coronation Chicken Bento Box (Easy) BLW Recipe
Table of Contents
The King’s Coronation was not long ago now and this has inspired me to make this bento box.
I love Coronation chicken and really wanted to create a child friendly yummy lunch!
My son does love curries so I thought this would be perfect for him, and for me!
This would be suitable for babies from 6 months old without the sultanas. The whole bento box with the sultanas is suitable from 1 year onwards.
The tortilla bunnies are perfect for dipping or eaten on their own. I love the fact tortilla chips can be made so easily and are far better for you if they are homemade.
I love the fact that this on the go lunch can be for all the family. You could double/triple the ingredients to make this lunch for the whole family.
If you had some leftover chicken from your Sunday roast, this would be so easy to whip up using the chicken leftovers. The rest of the ingredients you will most probably have in your store cupboard and fridge.
I hope this brings a bit of inspiration for you with regards to using up chicken leftovers or just making a yummy lunch for your family with pre packed cooked chicken breas.
Whichever you have, I hope that you enjoy making this easy, tasty lunch.
Ingredient information
Cooked chicken breast - Leftover chicken is perfect for this recipe, you could use the thigh or leg shredded too, just check for bones!
Fresh mango - Mango can be hard for young kids to like, in this recipe they will really enjoy it! Adds the right amount of sweetness.
Curry powder - I have used mild curry powder which is all this recipe needs.
Cinnamon - Complements the curry powder flavours, and adds some earthiness sweetness to the recipe.
Greek yogurt - So versatile and works so well within the recipe.
Sultanas - As mentioned you can use raisins instead.
Wholemeal tortilla - I like to use whole meal but you could use seeded or white if preferred.
Strawberries and blueberries - Finishing off with some nutritious berries packed full with antioxidants and vitamin C.
Serving suggestion
This bento box can easily be served on its own as part of a lunch or early dinner on the go for your family. You could serve along side another piece of fruit like a banana for example or on its own.
Storage instructions
This bento box can be stored in the fridge for up to two days, which is great if you need the make this in advance, or you could make two in advance and you have two lunches ready for the week.
Recipe | Coronation Chicken Bento Box
Makes 1 bento box for little tummies
40g, 1/2 cooked chicken breast, shredded
40g fresh mango, diced small
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
20g sultanas
1/2 wholemeal tortilla, I used a bunny cutter
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 strawberries, quartered
10 blueberries, squish between fingers for babies from 6 months
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees.
Mix the bunny tortillas in a bowl with the olive oil.
Once coated on each side, pop on a lined baking sheet in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are just beginning to brown. Take out the oven and leave to cool.
Next, pop the chicken, mango, spices, sultanas and yogurt into a mixing bowl and mix altogether until combined.
Place the Coronation chicken in the bento box in the largest compartment.
Next, pop the bunny tortilla chips in one of the small compartments.
Then the strawberries and blueberries in the last compartment.
Hope you and your family enjoy!
Recipe notes
If you didn’t have yogurt you could use creme fraiche, or plain fromage frais which would work just as well.
Same with the sultanas, you could use dried raisins.
