Instructions
Step 1
Boil the potatoes in a pan of lightly salted water for 15-20 minutes until they are nearly cooked but still a little firm.
Step 2
Drain and set aside in the pan with the lid on.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a wok-style frying pan or sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Gently fry the chicken breasts until they are sealed and slightly browned.
Step 5
Add the lemon slices, bay leaves and stock and season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Cover and bring to a simmer.
Step 7
Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is just cooked but still moist.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the heat.
Step 9
Lift the chicken out of the pan, wrap in foil to retain moistness and set aside.
Step 10
Leaving the stock in the pan, return to the heat.
Step 11
Add the nearly cooked new potatoes, turn the heat up to medium/high and continue to cook, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, tossing frequently until the remaining liquid has evaporated from the pan.
Step 12
Remove the pan from the heat, fish out the bay leaves and discard.
Step 13
There is no need to remove the lemon slices as they will have softened and will taste delicious.
Step 14
Cover the pan and set aside.
Step 15
Heat the oil in a large saucepan.
Step 16
Add the onions and garlic and cook gently over very low heat for about 5 minutes, or until softened.
Step 17
Add the chillies, peanuts, cinnamon, cheese and cumin and mix together.
Step 18
Cook for 5 minutes.
Step 19
Meanwhile, unwrap the cooked chicken and tear into generous strips.
Step 20
Add to the peanut mixture, stir in the yogurt and season with salt and pepper.
Step 21
Gently heat through.
Step 22
Serve with the deliciously flavoured sautéed potatoes and maybe some simple wilted spinach.
