Method
- Mix together 75g of the yogurt with 1 tbsp of the spice mix and some seasoning. Add the chicken and leave to marinate for at least 15 mins or up to overnight in the fridge. Heat the remaining spices, the onion and a good splash of water, and soften for 5 mins, stirring often.
- Tip in the pepper chunks and passata, and simmer while you cook the chicken. Heat the grill to High, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Grill under a high heat until starting to char at the edges.
- Tip the rice and peas into a pan with a splash of water and heat through. Stir most of the coriander into the sauce. Serve the rice alongside the chicken and sauce, scattered with the remaining coriander and the remaining yogurt on the side.

Made this tonight, it was very tasty. I marinated the chicken chunks for about 3 hours, I would say don't do it for much less than that as I don't think there would be much flavour. I cut the pepper chunks too big and would probably consider blending the sauce next time to make it more of a sauce and less of a vegetable curry! The chicken is delicious without the sauce though. I also copied the trick of threading the chunks on to skewers first and grilling, definitely worth doing as it blackens really nicely with a lovely flavour.
Tried this dish last night and was very impressed. I doubled most of the ingredients as i knew that with only 2 chicken breasts it would not be enough for our family. I marinated the chicken chunks overnight and used the tip that someone else mentioned to put the chunks on skewers to then grill- so much easier. All went to plan, it was straightforward to do and i would certainly have this dinner again.
