Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

a) Boil a half-full kettle.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

Fry the Chicken
2

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Cut the chicken thigh into 2cm pieces.

b) Once hot, add the chicken pieces to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

Add the Spices
3

c) Mix well and cook until fragrant, 1 min.

Time to Simmer
4

a) Next, stir in the veg stock paste and water for the curry (see pantry for amount). 

b) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat so the sauce simmers gently.

Finishing Touches
5

a) Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the creme fraiche, mango chutney and butter (see pantry for amount) until the butter is melted. 

b) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

d) Remove from the heat. Add a splash more water if you feel it needs it. 

Serve

Enjoy!
