Description

Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients Curry Chicken is a quick and simple dish that combines chicken with rich curry paste, coconut milk, and a few other staples to create a creamy, satisfying curry. It’s designed for those who want a flavorful meal with minimal effort, making it a go-to recipe for busy evenings.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 200g curry paste (choose your favorite, such as tikka masala or korma)
  • 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
  • 2 fresh tomatoes
  • 1 bunch of fresh coriander (cilantro)

Instructions

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Heat a splash of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown but not fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Curry Paste

In the same pan, add the curry paste and cook it for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. This helps to release the flavors and intensify the taste of the paste.

Step 3: Add Coconut Milk and Tomatoes

Pour in the coconut milk and stir it into the curry paste. Chop the fresh tomatoes and add them to the pan, mixing them in to create a rich, creamy sauce. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.

Step 4: Return the Chicken to the Pan

Return the chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Chop the fresh coriander and sprinkle it generously over the curry just before serving. Serve the curry hot with your favorite side dishes.
