Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of curry paste. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Set aside for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Heat 3 teaspoons of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the leek and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced red peppers and celery. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
- Add 1/4 cup of chicken gravy to the mixture. Stir well to combine and coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens and the flavors meld together.
- Remove the stir-fry from heat and sprinkle with the roughly chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the spiced chicken and capsicum stir-fry hot with freshly warmed naan bread on the side.
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can garnish with additional coriander leaves or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Tips:
- For an even quicker meal, prep all your vegetables in advance and store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
- To ensure the chicken cooks evenly, cut it into uniform-sized pieces.
- If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of curry paste used or choose a mild curry paste.
- To add more flavor, toast naan bread in a dry pan before serving.
- You can substitute red peppers with green or yellow peppers for a different flavor and color variation.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to brighten the dish.
- For a creamier sauce, consider adding a spoonful of yogurt or coconut milk towards the end of cooking.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a flavorful and nutritious Spiced Chicken & Capsicum Stir-fry that pairs wonderfully with naan bread. This dish is not only quick to prepare but also packed with vibrant colors and enticing aromas. Enjoy this meal with your family or friends, and savor the rich, spiced flavors that are sure to impress.
