Notes

To cook in the oven instead: You can cook this in the oven at 200C for the same amount of time
Serving suggestions: Microwave rice, flatbreads, wraps or pittas, salad
Tikka paste: I use Patak’s but use your preferred brand but remember to adjust the amount you use according to the pack instructions as they do vary. If you want to swap it for tikka powder instead, use the equivalent per serving as your paste (usually about 1tsp)
Peppers: The type of peppers used here are bell peppers
Vegetarian option: You can swap the chicken for a vegetarian/vegan protein too, but adjust your cook times as required
Chicken: You can use thighs instead of breast if you prefer, but bear in mind they will take a little longer to cook. Cut them small and adjust the cooking time to until they’re cooked through
Make ahead for prepped lunches: When cool, pack it into fridge containers and store for up to 3 days. Reheat until piping hot throughout in the microwave (or eat cold). You can also freeze. Defrost it thoroughly first and then reheat
