Bengali Creamy Coconut Chicken with Courgettes

Bengali Creamy Coconut Chicken with Courgettes, Lay The Table

This is about the most hassle-free meal Ive ever made and the kids loved it. Im not usually a fan of ready-sauces but wed had a busy day and I needed a shortcut so I used Pataks Bengali Creamy Coconut Stir-Fry sauce. From start to finish, the whole thing took about 15 minutes and a lot less time than that to eat.  Ive used courgettes, but you can use any veg you or your kids fancy.

Serves 2-3

1 tsp sunflower oil
2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips across the grain
2 large courgettes, chopped on the diagonal into thick chunks
1 pack Pataks Bengali Coconut Stir-Fry Sauce
Basmati rice, cooked according to packet instructions, approx, 10 mins
