Creamy Chicken & Red Pepper Coconut Curry Served with Fluffy Basmati Rice
What’s more ideal than a lovely chicken curry on a Saturday night? Creamy & comforting, super easy & quick to make this really hits the spot & not a takeaway in sight! The addition of coconut milk really lifts this curry to the next level flavourwise. Give it a try, I promise you won’t be disappointed! This serves four at 11 pro points each (2pp on F&H if you use brown rice). I hope you’re having a lovely Saturday Night.
