Yellow Curry Chicken

Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp yellow curry paste
  • 3 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 container yogurt (200 g)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 small onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a grill pan or regular pan with a little oil. Sear the chicken strips on both sides until cooked through, then transfer to a separate bowl.

  2. 2

    In the same pan or a small sauté pot, fry the onion until golden and lightly browned.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk the curry paste, peanut butter, honey, salt, yogurt and water until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the sauce to the pan with the onion and stir for a minute or two until it comes together and starts to thicken.

  5. 5

    Return the chicken to the pan, stir well, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until the sauce coats the chicken and turns rich and creamy.

  6. 6

    Serve hot over white rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro or roasted peanuts if you like.
