Chicken Satay Curry

Recipe Ingredients List
• Chicken Breasts (three)
• Rice – Basmati or Brown etc. (120g)
• Tinned Chopped Tomatoes (200g)
• Coconut Milk (100mls)
• Red Chilli (one)
• Peanut Butter (one tbsp.)
• Garam Masala (one tsp.)
• Coriander (small bunch)
• Fresh Ginger

Step 1
For the distinctive peanut-flavoured sauce, add the coconut milk, garam masala and peanut butter to a bowl. Chop up the red chilli and tomatoes and add these to the bowl too. A good way to portion fresh ginger is to measure it. As such, measure 2cm of it, grate this and add it to the bowl. Mix all of these ingredients together.

Step 2
Transfer the sauce from the bowl into a deep pan and leave this over a medium heat. Make sure to stir it occasionally so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3
Cut the chicken breasts into strips and add these to the pan. Let them simmer and cook for approximately ten to fifteen minutes until they are fully cooked through.

Step 4
Cook the rice as per the package instructions and serve this with the chicken and the sauce. You can also add a pinch of coriander over this for a final flash of flavour.
