Ingredients
4 diced chicken breast strips (or 450 grams)
1 tbsp oil
Curry sauce jar (korma was used)
Broccoli
Half a bag of spinach
1 small pepper, chopped
Salt
Pepper
Garlic granules
Curry powder (optional if you don’t like spice)
Packet of microwave rice
Step 1: For the quickest meal you can get the chicken pre-cooked, but we’re out here getting our good protein and cooking it ourselves! (well, I am) Add your diced chicken and chopped pepper into a hot pan with the oil and fry off for about 4 minutes or until the chicken looks cooked on all sides. Then add in your curry sauce from the jar and leave this to simmer on a low heat.
Step 2: Cut up and boil your broccoli in a pan of water for about 5 minutes so it's just cooked. This can either be done before or while your chicken is cooking. Then add it to the curry sauce mixture!
Step 3: Before you add the broccoli, add your spices to the sauce and chicken mix. I used whatever my housemates and I had lying around the kitchen: shake of salt and pepper, some garlic granules, and some curry powder. But use anything you like to add a bit more flavour to distract from the healthy stuff we're going to throw in, because vegetables actually are significantly better for you than just chicken nuggets and wedges…
Step 4: Add in your spinach and cook tit off until it significantly reduces in size (so you don’t notice it’s there anymore) and then give everything one last mix together!
Step 5: Now the curry has come together, stick some microwavable white rice into that Taly-kitchen microwave (if yours actually works) and plate up! This should make 2–3 portions, depending on how hungry or malnourished you are. Heads up, besties, you’ve just made adult food!
Side note: Make sure your curry has cooled down enough before you put it into your storage containers and into the fridge/freezer! Use refrigerated meals within 2 days of making!
Hope you all tune in next issue for another fast-fresher-food recipe!
