Curry that tastes like a cheat meal but is 100% clean! -Chris' favourite Chicken & Squash curry

Hello again!

This is a tried & tested recipe which has been a firm favourite at my gaff! In fact it's my fiancée's favourite clean meal I cook him that is so good it's worthy of a cheat meal!

You will need:
- 1 large chicken breast per serving , chopped into chunks
- 1 large onion - finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or minced
- 1 thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled & finely chopped or grated
- 1 red chilli, (omit seeds for a milder curry), finely chopped
- A good sized bunch of fresh coriander
- About half a butternut squash (more the merrier) peeled, deseeded & cubed
- 1 red pepper, chopped into good sized chunks
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp Tumeric
-2 tsp of ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp of chilli flakes (more or less if you don't like it spicy)
- Salt & pepper
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp ground nut oil
- 1 tin of good quality coconut milk
- Fresh spinach to serve

Heat your oil in a large saucepan & add the fresh spices (garlic, ginger & chilli) with your dried herbs and onion & fry it off until fragrant & your onions are translucent.

Add your chicken chunks & brown off (but don't cook through!) and season with some S&P.

Add the squash ,pepper, chicken stock & coconut milk & bring to the boil.

Once boiling reduce the temp to a simmer and leave to cook for a good 45 mins stirring occasionally or until your squash has almost melted & thickened your sauce naturally.

Keep tasting as you go & if it's not got a good chilli bite behind the coconut you need more chilli.

At the last 5 mins of cooking chop 2/3rds of your fresh coriander in the curry & stir.

Serve on a bed of fresh spinach or with some bulgar wheat & with more fresh coriander on top.

Top tip!
This is so much better the day after so make enough to have as left overs!
