Ingredients

1 Onion, sliced

2 Cloves of garlic, crushed

Thumb sized piece of Ginger, grated

2 Tbsp Tikka masala paste

3 Tbsp 0% Greek yoghurt

2 Tbsp 2 tablespoons tomato purée

6 6 chicken breasts, spiced

1 Tin of chopped tomatoes

1 Tin of green lentils

1 Tin of light coconut milk

200g Baby spinach

1 Tbsp Mango chutney

1 Tbsp Cornflour (optional, if needed)

Method

Firstly, in a large frying pan sprayed with oil, gently fry off the onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring frequently. Add a little splash of water if you feel the pan is becoming too dry.

Next, add the tomato purée and tikka paste and cook for a minute.

Add in the coconut milk, tomatoes and lentils, bring to a gentle simmer.

Allow to bubble away for 10 mins. Add in the chicken and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked (don’t overcook the chicken!)

Add the cornflour if you’d like a thicker consistency, stir. Then add the spinach & mango chutney and stir until wilted. Stir in the yoghurt and warm gently through.

Serve with freshly chopped coriander and a dollop of fat free Greek yoghurt

TIP: For extra tender chicken breasts, you can ‘velvet’ the chicken by adding a heaped tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda with a splash of water to the chicken. Mix thoroughly and set aside for 15-20 minutes. Rinse well before adding to the dish. This results in beautifully tender chicken.
