Instructions
Step 1
To make the curry paste, spray the pan with low-calorie cooking spray. Add the onion and garlic and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes until softened.
Step 2
Put the cooked onion and garlic in a blender with the rest of the curry paste ingredients and a pinch each of salt and pepper and blend into a paste.
Step 3
Put the chicken in a bag or bowl with the paste, making sure to coat it well. Marinate the chicken for at least an hour in the fridge.
Step 4
Once the chicken has been marinated, start on the curry. Add the chicken to a medium frying pan with the peppers and some low-calorie cooking spray. Saut? over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until the peppers have softened and the chicken has browned. Add the tomatoes and stock and simmer over a medium heat for 15 minutes. When it is ready, the chicken will be cooked through and the sauce will have thickened.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and serve. The curry can also be frozen once cooled - defrost fully before reheating, and make sure it's piping hot all the way through.
