  Really quick and tasty mid-week meal. I added some finely chopped cucumber to the yogurt as well as the herbs. I used one very large breast fillet cut in half and it didn't seem to dry out because it was very thick. Would it work with harissa paste instead of curry powder?

  A great recipe! my first experiment from this website. Swapped the white rice for brown and was impressed that such a healthy meal can taste so good. There's hope for this diet yet....!

  A tasty, original recipe. The only adjustment I have had to make is cooking the chicken for 35 minutes as it was still slightly underdone after the recommended 25 (I don't think it's my oven as it is usually spot on with other recipes).

  didn't have yoghurt so mixed sour cream and mascarpone - not as saintly but it worked well. wrapped chicken and onions in tin foil to reduce mess in oven, but made onions go a bit funny so i finished browning it in a pan and worked perfectly - just more washing up!

  awesome - thought that saffron in the rice was a touch. i served it with a side of finely grated carrot, with a sprinkling of sunflower seeds and a dash of balsamic

  We absolutely love this dish and it has now become one of our weekly staples. Over time I have changed how I make it and it is now cooked totally on the hob. I first fry the onions in 1 tsp oil and then keep them warm. I then cut the chicken into bitesized chunks, sprinkle with the curry powder and then fry in the same pan with a little more oil added. Everything else is the same except that I use low fat creme fraiche and mix in a bit of mint sauce from a jar (in the winter months anyway). The whole thing takes about 20 mins from start to finish - and a lot less than that to polish off :o)

  The rice was tasty, but the chicken was a little boring, olive oil and curry powder did not make it very interesting.

  We enjoyed this despite the fact the onions remained soggy and did not go crispy! It was rather dry so the raita was really valuable in this case. Would use more onions if I made it again.
