Simple & delicious — this recipe is a certified weeknight win.

Look no further for a simple and delicious weeknight win. This recipe is stacked with flavor, packed with nutrients, and is just the thing to warm you up on these freezing winter nights.

Usually one to reach for a shop-bought jar of your favorite curry sauce? I promise this homemade version is easy to master. Plus, it doesn’t have any hidden surprises in the ingredient list.

After a little bit of frying, all you have to do is add a tin of chopped tomatoes and leave it to simmer away until it’s nice and thick. (I was telling the truth when I said it’s simple.)

Paired with charred broccoli rice and topped with smooth cooling yogurt, sharp red onion, and fragrant coriander, you’ll really feel like a pro at your next family dinner.

Chicken Curry With Broccoli Rice

Servings
Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 300 g chicken breast (diced)
  • 1 large brown onion (chopped)
  • 1 tsp. garlic (crushed)
  • 1 tsp. fresh ginger (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Madras curry powder
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • 150 g rice
  • 150 g broccoli (chopped small)
  • 1/2 red onion (sliced)
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced)
  • 20 g low-fat yogurt

Instructions

1.

First, heat some cooking oil in a frying pan over a high heat and cook the chicken pieces until evenly browned and cooked through.

Reduce the heat to medium, then add the onion and cook for a few minutes until softened.

Next, add the garlic and cook for a minute, then add the ginger and cook for another minute.

6.

While the curry is gently bubbling, cook the rice according to packet instructions.

In a separate pan, fry the broccoli over a medium-high heat until it’s slightly charred.
