Ingredients
MAIN
- 1 kg chicken breast fillets (2.2 pounds), or thigh fillets or tenderloins
- 1/4 cup Korean curry powder (mild flavor) or 1 Tbsp regular curry powder (I use Keen’s traditional curry powder)
- 1/4 cup rice wine or leftover dry white wine
- 1 Tbsp minced ginger
- 1.5 to 2 tsp fine sea salt (If you’re using a regular curry powder, you might add 2 tsp.)
- 20 cracks ground black peppers
CURRIED GREEK YOGURT DRESSING
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp curry powder (Korean or regular)
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- A few cracks ground black peppers
OPTIONAL (TO SERVE)
- green salad mix
- cherry tomatoes
- cucumbers
- wholegrain wraps
- wholegrain bread
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a large glass container. Add all the seasonings (from main ingredients) and gently rub them around the chicken to season. (I wear a food prep glove for this process.) Cover with the lid and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to marinate.
- Pre-heat an oven at 200 C / 392 F. Pre-heat an oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Add some cooking oil. Cook the chicken breast for 1 min on each side. (Cook shorter for tenderloins.) Transfer the skillet into the oven, cook the chicken until it’s fully cooked. (Takes about 15 to 18 mins for a large chicken breast fillet.) Remove the skillet from the oven.
- (Cool down the chicken 5 to 10 mins, if serving it cold.) Slice the chicken per your preference – thinly slice, cube or pull apart.
- Serve the chicken with your choice of salad mix and curried greek yogurt dressing. Alternatively, you can serve it in a healthy wrap.
