Tray Baked Yellow Chicken Curry

24 August 2020 By

A beautiful one tray dish that you can make with your preferred cut of chicken – what’s not to like?

Sometimes I make this dish with a whole butterflied chicken or even one that I have quartered into a couple of larger pieces. Serve this dish with rice, baguette or sourdough to mop up all the lovely juices. Simplicity with stunning flavours.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Heat a deep large roasting/baking dish. Add oil, then braise onions with lemongrass and bay leaves for 10 minutes. Next add minced garlic, ginger and chilli paste, fry for 4-5 minutes then add chicken and fry for 2 minutes before sprinkling with Latasha’s Kitchen Turmeric Spice Magic.
  3. Transfer to the hot oven and bake for 15 minutes. Next add the sweet potatoes and carrots so they nestle between the chicken pieces. Meanwhile mix together chicken stock, coconut milk, soya sauce, fish sauce and white pepper.
  4. Pour this mixture over the chicken, then continue baking for 60 minutes or until the chicken and vegetables are tender.
  5. Halfway through turn the chicken pieces.
