Tip

Lower carb: use quinoa or omit rice. Lower fat: Reduce the olive oil to 2 tsp and use 60ml light coconut milk, replacing the remaining 60ml with chicken stock.

Cost-saving tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the crispy garlic separately and add it after reheating to maintain its crunch. The cooked chicken and sauce can be frozen in individual portions for up to 3 months. Defrost throughly and reheat until piping hot.
