 1 tbsp olive oil

 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated

 4 tbsp green curry paste

1.4 litres chicken stock - amended volume

2 chicken breasts (300g), thinly sliced

 100g jasmine rice, rinsed

1 lime, juice only

1 red chilli, finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant
  2. Stir in the green curry paste and cook for another minute to release the flavours
  3. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the sliced chicken and jasmine rice, cover and cook gently for 15–18 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through
  4. Stir in the cavolo nero and simmer for 3–4 minutes until wilted and tender

  6. Season to taste

Cooking Tips

Use leftover roast chicken instead of raw. Just add with the cavolo nero to warm through. Swap jasmine rice for brown rice or noodles if you prefer. Freeze portions (without rice) for up to 3 months, cook fresh rice to serve.
