Ingredients
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 large red onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3 (about 500g) free-range skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 300ml chicken stock
- 3 tbsp low-fat fromage frais
- 50g ground almonds
- 50g mangetout, sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- 1 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted
Method
- Heat the oil in a wok or large pan and cook the sliced onion for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until starting to brown, then stir in the spices and cook for a couple of minutes more.
- Add the stock and fromage frais, mix well, then add the ground almonds and mangetout. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until the sauce is creamy and the chicken is cooked.
- Stir in the coriander, season to taste and serve sprinkled with the almonds, with some wholegrain rice on the side, if you wish.
