This Indian spiced chicken recipe is another one of those last minute additions to a meal that I never expect to taste so good! I have only recently started eating meat again and stir frying chicken is one of my favourite ways to cook it, you are always left with juicy, tender meat! Plus it is a great protein source with 27g of protein in every 100 grams.
I love using a combination of dried herbs and spices in my cooking, not only do they taste incredible but they also have added health benefits! Turmeric is probably my favourite spice as it transforms any dish and it is considered to have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties making it the ideal addition to a meal when you are feeling a bit run down.
I recommend serving this chicken with a side of tenderstem broccoli and my channa masala!
