Handy cook's tips:
If you like a milder curry, use a mild curry paste or powder, if you like it hotter, add a seeded and chopped red chilli or dried chilli flakes to taste.
You can change the green pepper to 150g broccoli florets if preferred.
Look out for offers on bags of chicken breasts and keep in freezer, as chicken breasts can be expensive.
