It’s also gloriously gluten free, making it the perfect mid-week meal for all to enjoy. This recipe will make enough for two, but can be easily adapted to feed many more hungry mouths. Let’s get cooking, curry lovers!
What you’ll need:
- 1 large chicken breast, sliced into strips
- 1 large onion
- 1 courgette
- Fresh herbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chilli blend spice
- 2 tablespoons chilli oil
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- ½ cup basmati rice
- 1½ cup water
- 1 tin of tomatoes
- 1 large onion
- 1 courgette
- Fresh herbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chilli blend spice
- 2 tablespoons chilli oil
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- ½ cup basmati rice
- 1½ cup water
- 1 tin of tomatoes
Let’s get started!
1. Begin by frying a finely chopped onion in coconut oil over a medium heat. When golden brown, throw in your garlic and combine together.
2. Next, reduce the temperature and add your chilli oil, chicken and courgette then continue to fry for just over 5 minutes.
3. Time to throw in your tomatoes, water and rice then cover and allow the rice to absorb the liquid. Be sure to mix occasionally and add extra water if it’s too thick!
4. Finish by sprinkling some fresh herbs and chilli over the top, then dig in!
