Green Chicken Curry

This recipe makes good use of your store cupboard! Not particularly spicy but full of flavour, you can use chicken breast like I have or boneless thighs instead. If you don't have all the spices don't worry just use your favourite curry powder & it will taste just as good! I have used 2 chicken breasts sliced fairly thinly which should be enough for 4 but it will depend on the size.
