Chutney Chicken Curry

Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Trim the green beans then chop into thirds. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until the chicken is browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw chicken and its packaging. TIP: Fry the chicken in batches if your pan is small as you want it to fry, not stew. Once the chicken is browned, add the onion to the pan and cook with the chicken, stirring frequently until softened, 3-4 mins.

Stir in the garlic and curry powder to coat the chicken, and cook for 1 min. Pour in 100ml water (double for 4p) and stir in the chicken stock. Add the beans, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cover the pan with a lid or some foil. Simmer until the beans are tender, about 5-7 mins.

Once the beans are tender and the chicken is cooked, remove the lid and stir in the creme fraiche and cranberry chutney. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Stir in half the coriander. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
