This mild Indian butter chicken curry is kid friendly and fantastically fragrant.
Ingredients:
- Olive oil spray
- 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbs tandoori paste
- 600g chicken breast fillets, excess fat trimmed, cut into 2cm pieces
- 400g can no-added-salt chopped tomatoes
- 125ml (1/2 cup) chicken stock
- 55g (1/3 cup) cashews, finely chopped
- 70g (1/4 cup) natural yoghurt
- 75g baby spinach leaves
- 2 cups steamed basmati rice
- Chopped cucumber, to serve
- Fresh coriander leaves, to serve
- Pappadums, to serve
Method:
Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Spray with oil. Cook onion, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Add the tandoori paste and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until aromatic.
Add the chicken and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until browned. Stir in tomato and stock. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

I eat watermelon, sliced apples, or a piece of bread without butter for breakfast.
For lunch I usually have a salad mixed with spinach, grilled chicken, and nonfat dressing or no dressing at all with iced water and grapes.
For dinner I will usually have grilled chicken if I didn’t have it for lunch with fruit or veggies.
I use the treadmile 4 times a week for 30 minutes as well as squats,lunges,yoga aerobics.

Last night, we ordered two orders from our local italian restaurant – chicken stuffed with spinach and proscuitto rolled and covered in an alfredo sauce. A serving of garlic and butter seasoned pasta (spaghetti) accompanied each order.
We ended up not eating it, and would like to do so tonight – how would you suggest rewarming it?
We don’t want to use a microwave – would prefer an oven and/or stove.
FYI, the chicken is a chicken breast cut into thirds – as there are two orders, there are two breasts each cut into thirds.
The container that it came in is a styrofoam container, so we’d need to transfer it to something else for the rewarming.
What temperature, how long, what kind of container(s), other suggestions?
Your help is appreciated – we’re all ears!

I was thinking just some white rice but that seems a bit bland. This will be my first time with cooking lemon chicken as well. TY.

I’m preparing a full course Indian dinner for guests on the weekend (I’m not Indian by the way!!) and would like to use my crockpot as a method of preparing part of the meal. I don’t want to compromise quality though. Any ideas? Thanks to all.
