Preparation

Step 1: Fry the chicken

Heat the oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken cubes for 4 minutes until they are golden brown all over. Stir occasionally so they don't stick.

Step 2: Add vegetables

Add the stir-fry vegetables and cook for 5 minutes until everything is heated through and al dente. Don't set the heat too high, or the vegetables will wilt too quickly.

Step 3: Make the sauce

Stir the curry powder into the pan and pour in the coconut milk. Let the sauce simmer gently for 6 to 8 minutes until it thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 4: Sauté the cauliflower rice

Meanwhile, heat a dry pan and sauté the cauliflower rice for 4 minutes. Stir frequently so that it heats through but doesn't get soggy or mushy.

Step 5: Serving

Spoon the cauliflower rice onto plates and arrange the chicken with curry sauce on top. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Tips & label

Stir in a handful of fresh spinach into the sauce just before serving for extra vegetables and color.

Delicious with a lime wedge or some fresh cilantro on top for a refreshing twist.

Check the curry powder and coconut milk for dairy ingredients; most are cow's milk-free, but it's still a good idea to double-check.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days, and gently reheat them in a pan with a splash of water or coconut milk.

Cut the chicken into equal-sized cubes so that everything cooks at the same time and the sauce thickens evenly.
