Ingredients:
• 1 large red chilli, deseeded
• ½ a finger-length piece fresh root ginger, roughly chopped
• 1 fat garlic clove
• Small bunch coriander (stalks roughly chopped, leaves reserved)
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil
• 4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 5 tbsp peanut butter
• 150ml chicken stock
• 200g tub Greek yogurt
Instructions:
1. Thinly slice a quarter of the chilli and set aside for garnish.
Place the rest into a food processor with the ginger, garlic, coriander stalks, and a few of the leaves.
Blend into a rough paste, adding a splash of water if needed.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken chunks and quickly brown for 1 minute.
3. Stir in the aromatic paste and cook for another minute, letting the flavours release.
4. Add the peanut butter, chicken stock, and Greek yogurt.
Stir everything together and bring to a gentle bubble.
5. Simmer for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.
6. Stir through most of the remaining coriander.
Garnish with the rest of the coriander and sliced chilli.
Serve hot with fluffy rice or creamy mashed sweet potato.
Healthy Swaps & Tips:
• Swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative to make it lactose-free.
• Add steamed green beans or spinach for an extra veg boost.
• Use skinless chicken thighs for a juicier texture, but adjust cooking time slightly.
Storage & Meal Prep:
• Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently on the hob or in the microwave.
• Not recommended for freezing due to yogurt in the sauce.
Ideal For:
• Busy professionals
• Gym-goers needing a protein-packed dinner
• Anyone craving a warming curry without a long wait
