Curried chicken with pilau rice

Step away from that takeaway menu. This super-quick, Indian- influenced curried chicken will be ready and on your table way faster (and it’s healthy too). A biryani-inspired easy combination of chicken, veg and rice, it’s lifted with well-balanced spicing. The optional extras will add a burst of colour and texture, or if you have some in the cupboard, a dried fruit and unsalted nut mix is a good addition too.
