CHICKEN STEW


  
                            



Ingredients:What you'll need:
4 chicken breast fillets
1 medium onion 
1 green pepper
1 tin of plum (chopped) tomatoes
Your choice of spices (optional : (incl. Thai sweet chilli sauce) see side tab for my spice cupboard)
Your choice of cooking oil
A chopping board
Mixing bowl (optional but recommended)
A knife (any as long as it's sharp and not serrated)
Cooking pot






1. Get your ingredients together: onion, chicken breast fillets, green pepper, oil etc. 
** Wash chicken thoroughly and place in mixing bowl.
Slice peppers and onions.


2. Dice the chicken (after being washed thoroughly) and place back into mixing bowl.
On the chopping board, slice the onion.
Add *some* onion slices to the chicken and then add spices (I used 1 tbsp of all-purpose, 1 tspn of hot chilli powder and 3/4 tbsp curry powder - this was just to season the chicken, ideally this would have been done the night before).Mix the spices and onions in to the chicken.

3. Add oil (approx. 1.5 tbsp) to cooking pot. Once oil is hot add chicken and fry until thoroughly cooked (not burnt!) *Remember to keep stirring chicken*.
Once the chicken is cooked add remaining onion slices and pepper to pot. 
Leave to cook until onions and pepper become soft.
**Keep stirring.

4. Add tin of chopped tomatoes.
Add spices (optional).
Stir and leave to cook on low/medium heat for approximately 15 minutes.


This meal took about 35 minutes to make, and there's at least 5 servings. I ate this with sweet potatoes (my new favourite side - recipe coming soon!) and on other occasions brown rice. I also experimented by added Thai Sweet Chilli sauce (another favourite) and it definitely enhanced the flavour.
If you don't fancy eating this for 5 days in a row, or whatever, it is freezable.
