Top tips for making the Slimming World chicken and potato curry

To change the spice levels, simply swap the medium curry powder for mild or hot. If you like things really fiery, add some finely chopped green bird's eye chillies at the same time as the curry powder.

“Although it’s not the cheapest option, I love the convenience of having some packets of microwave rice at home. It’s ready in under two minutes and makes the perfect, quick side to any curry. Look out for packs with extra grains or flavours too. Wild rice with mushroom is one of my top choices.” 

If you’re nervous about cooking chicken and tend to overcook it, use a meat thermometer to check it’s cooked and avoid dry, tough chicken dinners.
