Chicken & Chestnut mushroom Roast Curry

I LOVE love love curry so whenever I get a graving for it, I whip up my own home made clean version. It’s much cheaper & healthier for you than opening a jar from your local supermarket and I promise you tastes 100% nicer. It also comes without the hydrogenated fats, chemicals, added sugars and preservatives.

Ingredients:

– Chicken or turkey breasts

– Coconut Oil

– Curry powder. My fav is the Roasted one from Marks & Spencers. Check the label for any added sugar, caking agents or preservatives.. some cheaper variants can sneak them in to make them cheaper to mass produce.

– Parsley

– Black pepper and pink salt to taste

-Low Fat Fromage Frais 

– Tamari sauce.

– Chestnut Mushrooms..

 ( I use this variant of mushroom over the mass produced white button version. They have a slightly nutty flavour which I love and have a lower water content, so this means they shrink less when cooked.  They are rich in antioxidants which help suppress the synthesis of cholesterol. They can help to prevent both breast and prostrate cancer by suppressing the production of the enzymes aromatase and 5 alpha reductase. Chestnut mushrooms may also help prevent bone loss caused by osteoporosis.)

To make:

– I cut up my chicken into small cubes and I either steam or grill it. The grill is super fast and only takes about 15-20mins.

– In a frying pan I add a little coconut oil and toss in some organic chestnut mushrooms.

– Shake a little Tamari sauce in the pan whilst their cooking

– Once the mushrooms are cooked and the chicken is ready place the chicken into the pan with the mushrooms and add in 3 tsps of curry powder. Taste test and add more depending on how hot you like your curry. Mix the chicken and curry around the powder making sure they’re all covered in medium heat.

– I was making this for my lunch in work the next day so I placed the mushrooms and chicken into my lunch box as is.

– In work I then added 2 tbsp of Fromage Frais to the chicken and heated in the microwave. This mean it was not only fresher but it meant that it was less likely to leak in my bag with less liquid.

– If I was making this at home I add the Fromage Frais to the pan and heat gently.

– This can be served with brown rice but for lunch I went with some avocado instead.
