Ingredients
1 tbsp peanut oil
650 g Lilydale Free Range Chicken Tenderloins
1 small red onion, sliced into thin wedges
3 blocks S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix
1 bunch broccolini, trimmed and halved lengthways
270 ml can coconut cream
60 g pkt baby spinach
Lime wedges, to serve
Steamed Coles White Medium Grain Rice, to serve
Instructions
- Heat peanut oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
- Add chicken tenderloins and cook for about 5 minutes, turning halfway, until nearly cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- Add half the red onion to the wok and reduce heat to low. Stir-fry for 1 minute until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) water and add the curry roux blocks. Stir until dissolved and smooth.
- Add broccolini and simmer for 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside with the chicken.
- Pour coconut cream into the wok and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and creamy.
- Tear chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the wok with broccolini and baby spinach. Stir until spinach wilts and chicken is heated through.
- Serve the curry over steamed rice, topped with the remaining red onion and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
Substitute chicken with tofu, eggplant, or veggie schnitzel for a vegetarian option.
Add extra vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or carrots for more color and nutrition.
For extra spice, stir in chili oil or sprinkle with shichimi togarashi.
Use half coconut cream and half stock for a lighter sauce.
Serve with jasmine or brown rice for a fiber-rich alternative.
