This is great if you fancy a quick, last minute curry. My husband found the sauce quite rich, but I loved it! So tasty, and with quite a kick to it. I would miss out the fresh chilli if I was serving this to children! I love when I stumble apon a recipe that I have all the ingredients for already in the fridge/cupboard. I am definitely going to make this again. Serve with rice/naan.

the onion, and seed and chop the chilli.
Heat a large shallow pan. Tip in the
chicken and marinade and fry for about
6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes, or until cooked. Season and stir in the
lemon juice. Serve with rice and naan bread.
I showed this recipe to my Mum (Dad loves a curry) and she has made it lots of times. She used coconut milk instead of cream and it's become a firm family favourite.
