This fruity, Bajan (from Barbados) Chicken and Coconut Curry Recipe is super simple to make and tastes great.
Ingredients:
1 Onion, finely chopped
400g tin of Chopped Tomatoes
2 tbsp

Method:
Combine 1 tbsp Olive, 1 tsp Turmeric and 1 tbsp Fresh Bajan Spice blend in a bowl and mix thoroughly to combine. Add the chicken, rub the spice mix all over and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
After this time, place a large saucepan over medium heat and when hot add 1 tbsp Olive Oil. When the oil is hot use to brown the chicken for around 10 minutes, turning often, then set aside (or cook fully and keep the breasts whole to slice on top of the curry sauce).

Squeeze in the juice of a lemon and add the coconut milk, simmer to thicken for 5 minutes. Now add in your cooked chicken and cook for a further 5 minutes, until done through.
Alternatively serve and place the fully cooked chicken sliced on top.
Garnish with coriander leaves on top and serve on white rice.
