Method
- Boil the rice following the packet instructions.
- Cut the onion into thin strips and the pepper either into small dice or thin strips.
- Gently fry the onion in olive oil and, when it’s translucent, add the pepper and salt.
- When the onion and pepper have been cooking for a few minutes, add the chicken and stir well.
- Add the coconut milk (it’s important to shake the can well) and after a few minutes add the curry.
- Taste and adjust the salt and curry.
- Serve with the boiled rice.
- Done!
- I recommend adding the curry and salt little by little until it’s just how you like it.
- It’s just as delicious in a packed lunch.
