Why I Like this Recipe

I make this recipe often because it’s full of flavour but never feels too heavy. The coconut sauce mellows the spices and ties everything together. It’s easy to cook, simple to adjust, and works for both a relaxed dinner and a few days of meal prep.

Tips and Variations

  • Use chicken thighs if you prefer a deeper flavour and slightly juicier texture.
  • Swap for light coconut milk if you want to keep the dish a bit lighter.
  • Add a handful of spinach at the end for extra fibre and colour.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice for a lighter, lower-carb option.
  • Stir in a spoon of light sour cream for a slightly richer, creamier finish.
  • Add chilli if you like a bit of heat.
  • It stores well, so it’s a solid pick for meal prep.
  • Finish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice to lift the flavours.

Meal Storage

Let the dish cool fully, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer tips

Freeze in portions for up to 2 months. The sauce stays creamy even after freezing.

Thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
