Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over a high heat until tender, 12 minutes. • Drain and return to saucepan. Add chicken-style stock powder and stir to combine.
• While rice is cooking, finely chop garlic. Trim and halve green beans. Roughly chop coriander. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt, coriander and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine masala paste, the salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken, toss to coat and set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook green beans until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add baby spinach leaves, the butter and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season to taste. • Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
TIP: Stand back! The masala paste can spit while the chicken is cooking.
TIP: Don't worry if your chicken gets a little charred during cooking, it adds to the flavour!
• Divide basmati rice between bowls. Top with chicken tikka masala and greens. • Serve with herby yoghurt and a dollop of mango chutney.
