Instructions

  1. Add the diced chicken to a large bowl with the chicken marinade ingredients and mix to combine. Leave to marinade for at least 15 minutes or ideally overnight, covered in the fridge.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in large non-stick frying pan. Fry the chicken for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden and almost cooked through. About 8 minutes in total. Remove from the pan.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and fry the onions for 3 minutes on a medium heat until golden. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and fry for 1 more minute until fragrant. Add the passata and tomato puree. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for a further 10 minutes or until thick.
  4. Add the cream and optional low carb sweeter. Put the chicken back in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and warm.
