Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium to high heat. Add the pepper, mushrooms and coriander stalks. Cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, until the veg has softened. Scatter over the chilli powder, stir well to combine and cook for a further 1 min.
  2. Pour over the coconut milk, chicken stock and sugar and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, add the chicken and cook for 5 mins until heated through.
  3. Stir through the lime juice and scatter with the coriander leaves to serve.
  4. If you don’t have cooked chicken, roast chicken breasts for 25 mins at gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C until golden and cooked through.
