This is a delicious and easy chicken dish that I hastily jotted down while watching the lovely Rachel Allen on TV one Saturday Morning. I liked it because it did not need too many special ingredients, other than a few spices, which a lot of people may have to hand anyway. I used chicken breast when I made it and it fed my family easily, feel free to use whatever cut of chicken you prefer. Ingredients:
6 chicken breast fillets, skinless |
1 onion, diced |
4 garlic cloves, grated |
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated |
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground |
1 teaspoon coriander seeds or 1 teaspoon ground coriander |
2 teaspoons cumin seeds or 2 teaspoons ground cumin |
salt |
pepper |
2 (400 g) cans chopped tomatoes |
1 tablespoon tomato puree |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 tablespoon oil, for frying |
Directions:
1. Heat a large heavy based pan, preferably one with a lid, add oil and when hot add diced onion and grated ginger and garlic, cook till soft but not coloured.
2. If using whole spices, dry fry then in a small pan before grinding and adding to the onion, ginger and garlic mix along with the cinnamon. If not just add your spices all together, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and honey to the pan and cook till the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes over a low-medium heat.
4. Add chicken, coating in the sauce, cover and cook slowly till chicken is cooked, 15-20 minutes, but check first if you are using a different cut.
5. Season to taste and sere with, cous cous, salad, crusty bread, flat bread or whatever you fancy.
