Menu Monday: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

So as I said last week, I try to be pretty organised when it comes to dinners for our family. And I'm hoping lots of you are here to share your recipes! I love cooking, but tend to find favourites and not diverge very much from them. It's time for a menu shake up at my house!

So my contribution is this super yummo chicken korma, that's mild enough for little people too. I like to add a little extra spice to mine and the supertrucker's at the end. Best thing about this recipe is that all my kids will eat it. All. Win.

Oh and the chooka up there, what a creepy looking one hey? But I forgot to take photos when I made this last, and a chook is a chook. Right?

This is for a really big batch by the way, should serve 10ish. Obviously you can halve it if you want to, I do things huge then freeze half because I'm a systems junkie.


Chicken Korma

You need:

- Splash of oil
- 4 chicken breast fillets (skinfree)
- 1 clove chopped garlic. Or that minced stuff you keep in the fridge.
- 1 large onion chopped fairly finely.
- 1 teaspoon each of ground ginger, cinnamon and turmeric
- 1 400g tin of diced tomatoes
- 200g natural yoghurt
- 200g cream
- Salt, pepper & chilli flakes to taste.



* You can chop up the chicken however you like, or leave the breasts whole if that floats your boat. I tend to dice it pretty small as I have small people with little mouths. Brown the chicken in the olive oil. If you are using whole breasts make sure you check that they are cooked through before continuing.

* Toss in the ginger, cinnamon and turmeric and allow the spices to coat the chicken for a minute or two. Smells yummy right?

* Turn your stove to a medium heat and add the tomatoes. Mix through and allow to simmer for ten minutes or so.

* Stir in the cream and yoghurt, and once it is heated through serve with rice, naan bread, pappadums or whatever else you fancy. Once I've served up for my kids I add some salt, pepper and a little chilli for the grownups.


Please note you can totally substitute the cream for more yoghurt if you're aiming for a lower fat option. I've done it before and it's still super yummo.

Enjoy!!

PS Please feel free to add sweet stuff too, every good dinner deserves a delicious desert yes?
