Leftover Chicken and Spinach Curry

So good and so easy... thanks to having a bit of roasted chicken in the fridge, I was able to whip this up in about half an hour!

My version (based on what I had on hand):

Ingredients

  • handful of almonds, chopped (since I didn't have any flaked)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2/3 of a red onion, coarsely chopped (what I happened to have in the fridge)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 heaping tablespoon mild curry paste
  • 1/2 cup plain yogourt mixed with a little water (to make just under 3/4 cup)
  • leftovers from a roasted chicken (about a large breast's worth), chopped into rough cubes
  • most of a bunch spinach, leaves roughly chopped
  • cooked rice, to serve

Method

  1. Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add almonds. Cook, shaking pan gently, for 3 to 5 minutes or until toasted. Remove to a bowl. 
  2. Add oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until soft. Add curry paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until aromatic. Add yoghurt and water mixture. Stir until well combined.
  3. Add chicken. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes or until chicken is heated through. Add spinach. Cover and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach has wilted.
     
    Spoon curry over rice. Top with toasted almonds. Serve.
