Those days when you know you need something tasty, satisfying, hearty BUT quick? If you have chicken and a handful of store cupboard ingredients, it’s got to be time to whip up an Easy Chicken Curry, right?! This recipe is convenient, super easy, ready in about half an hour, all made in one pot AND it’s really healthy. A quick curry with about 300 calories for a midweek win? Yes please. Of course, add your favourite side dishes (poppadoms, naans, flatbreads etc) or make it alongside other curries as part of a curry night banquet because it’s ideal for making ahead, batch-cooking and freezing too.
Why you’ll love this Easy Chicken Curry recipe
⭐️ Super simple, with a few tweaks to level up ⭐️ Perfect for easy batch cooking ⭐️ Easily adaptable to budget, taste or what you’ve got in Curries are a great dish to make if you also want to make something that’s packed with flavour but is relatively low in calories, because we can easily make lighter choices that don’t compromise on flavour. I’ve done this with this recipe by choosing low fat yoghurt and chicken breast. There is a real depth of flavour because I like to marinate my chicken, which I do recommend for best results, but isn’t mandatory if you don’t have time.

I love spinach, mushrooms and cauliflower in a curry, and chickpeas also work really well too. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
