Quick chicken curry ready in 15 minutes with 'lovely' recipe that's simple to make

Curry lovers rejoice - there's a recipe for a scrumptious chicken curry you can whip up a delicious dish in minutes.

Irena Macri, culinary expert and founder of Cooked and Loved, has divulged her super simple "chicken curry in a hurry" recipe that takes 15 minutes to prepare.

She said: "It's inspired by Indian curries like chicken tikka masala or butter chicken. The sauce has a tomato coconut base, which works superbly well with chicken. It has a little kick but isn't too spicy; it's lovely and mild. You can always add more chilli if you like."

She added: "This is a perfect quick dinner meal to make during the week when you're short on time. Kids will love it, partners will love it and your granny will enjoy it."

The trick to this dish's speedy preparation is using pre-cooked chicken, which could be leftovers, or you might opt for Rotisserie-style or cooked chicken from the supermarket.

Here's everything you need to make it, as reported by the Express.
