Creamy Chicken (Or Prawn) Curry

Ingredients

• 300 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips or prawns, peeled and tails removed
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons mild curry powder (such as Keen's, see note below)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1/2 red capsicum, chopped (AKA red bell pepper)
• 150 ml evaporated low-fat milk
• 2 teaspoons chicken stock powder
• 2 teaspoons cornflour (AKA cornstarch)
• 1/3 cup water

Directions

1. 1

   Cook chicken in a hot pan coated with cooking spray till brown and tender. (If using prawns, you can stirfry them at this point till they turn pink, or you can wait till the end and just cook them in the sauce for a few minutes.) Remove from the pan and keep warm.

2. 2

   Saute the garlic, curry powder, carrots, onion and capsicum for 4 - 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine cornflour and water in a small bowl.

4. 4

   Turn the heat way down low and stir in the milk, stock and cornflour/water mixture. Stir until sauce thickens. Return chicken to the pan and coat with the curry sauce.

5. 5

   Serve over rice.

   NOTE: After a review stating this was "bland" I realised that Keen's Curry Powder (available in Australia) may be quite different from brands available overseas. Keen's brand curry powder has a fairly high salt content. You may need to add salt to this recipe if your curry powder is low in salt.
