This curry is full of flavor without any heat whatsoever. Don't be worried about the long list of spices in this recipe. The idea of stocking a pantry with spices and herbs can seem a be daunting but the key is to add some to your pantry on your weekly shop. It doesn't take long to get enough to make a few hearty meals.

This curry is a bit different to my normal curries as there is absolutely no Chilli but it is so tasty. This one is pretty easy

Poached Chicken Salad

This is something that I whipped up for lunch after the Christmas period. I'm feeling full and bloated after all the extra food that seems to be consumed at Christmas.

  • 2 cups of Chicken stock
  • 1 tsp dried Thyme
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 500g Chicken Breast
  • Salad ingredients - Baby Spinach, Mushroom, Capsicum, Onion, Cucumber etc
  • Small handful off mixed nuts/seeds


Method

  1. Place stock, Thyme, and seasoning in a pot. Bring to the boil
  2. Place Chicken breast into the stock. Again, bring the water to the boil.
  3. Once Boiling, lower heat and let Chicken simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare salad with desired ingredients
  5. Leave Chicken in the stock for another 5 minutes.
  6. Take Chicken out of stock and slice once cool enough.
  7. Serve Chicken with salad and top with nuts and seeds
Note

  • keep left over chicken in an air tight container in the fridge. May last a day or so.
  • You may add other seasoning to the stock as desired
  • I also added a Macadamia Dukkuh to the seed mix which added some flavour.
