Easy Chicken and Spinach Curry with Tasty Grains
An easy chicken curry that’s perfect for a weeknight meal. Our Indian-inspired Tasty Grains make a delicious change to rice. We’re using frozen spinach for ease, but you can use fresh leaves if you prefer – just add towards the end of cooking. If you like things spicy add some chopped fresh chilli in with the garlic and ginger.
Method
Heat the oil in a large deep-sided pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion for 6-8 minutes or until soft and beginning to turn golden. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 3 minutes more. Add the spices and mix well to coat the onions.
Add the tinned tomatoes and spinach, allow the sauce to come to the boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and add the chicken. Add a good pinch of salt, stir and cover with a lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes.
When almost ready to serve, prepare the Tasty Grains according to the packet instructions. Fluff with a fork.
Divide the grains between serving plates and top with the curry. Garnish with sliced chilli.
