Instructions
- Start by removing the skin and visible fat off the chicken thighs. (You can skip this step if you splashed out on the skinless/boneless). Slice into 1 inch pieces.
- Finely dice the onion and add it into a large saucepan along with the chicken and a tbsp of olive or coconut oil.
- Grate the ginger straight into your saucepan. At this stage also add the minced garlic and seasoning.
- Once the onions have turned translucent and your kitchen smells amazing, it’s time to chuck in the olive/or coconut oil and passata. Season with salt.
- Reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. At this point, pop your rice on so they will be finished at the same time.
- Serve with coarsely chopped fresh coriander.
