This one-pot chicken is a fast, flavourful, brilliant dinner.

A one-pot dinner is a favourite mid-week or when you don’t feel like doing dishes. Instead of chicken, some chunks of salmon or other fish would suffice. For a vegetarian version, add pumpkin and a few extra greens.

COCONUT MISO CHICKEN RECIPE

Serves 4

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 red onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, crushed

400g chicken boneless thighs

1 tsp curry powder

½ cup miso paste

400ml tin coconut cream

100g green beans, topped and halved

1 cup baby green leaves

1 cup coriander
To serve

3-4 cups cooked basmati rice
  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan until hot. Add the onion and garlic, cooking for 5 minutes to soften. Push them aside and add the chicken thighs, browning well on both sides.
  2. Add the curry powder, miso paste and coconut cream, stirring until smooth and starting to bubble. Continue to cook for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
  3. Halfway through, add the beans, cooking for 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the green leaves to wilt, and the coriander.
  5. Serve hot, dividing the rice between four bowls and topping with the chicken.
