I really don't know exactly how many calories/fat is in it...so if anyone can work that out

This is a recipe I use to use up leftover chicken from a roast( a free range bird). Its best to use the leg meat(dark meat). I get 3 meals out of one chicken for my family + sandwiches.

Ingredients-

1 Garlic clove, very finely chopped
Olive oil
1 onion
1-2 handfuls of cooked chicken ( I use 1 large handful)
2 large sweet potato's (less if making for less people)
2 red peppers (again less for less people)
Medium curry powder(or hot if preferred) I use about 2 tablespoons, but really it's personal pref.
1 and 1/2- 2 tins of chopped tomato's.
Coriander..either a handful of fresh or 2 teaspoons dried. Add fresh at the end of cooking, dried at the beginning.

Serve with Cooked Basmati or preferred rice. Serves 2 children, 1 teenager and 2 adults(my husband has massive portions)

Preheat oven to 200 degrees

Peel and cube the sweet potato's. Lightly toss with Olive oil, season with salt and pepper.

Bake in the oven for approx 20 mins or until they are cooked.
While they are cooking, slice the garlic, roughly chop and de-seed the peppers, chop the onion and open the tins of tomatos etc.

Cook the onion and peppers and, in a frying pan, until the onion ls slightly translucent. Then add the garlic and cook for a few mins.

Take a teaspoon of the curry powder and then 'sprinkle it' over the onion and peppers.

Stir so that they are coated slightly in the powder.
Then add 1 tin of tomato's to the pan. Mix together until tomato's heated through.

Then add the rest of the Curry Powder- The trick is to add a bit at a time, and keep tasting until it is spicy enough for your personal taste. Once you have got the ammount you like, you will will remember for next time you cook the dish and cooking time will be shorter.

Stir the powder through.

If using dried Coriander..put it in now.

Now add the sweet potato. Stir thoroughly.
Add the chopped, leftover chicken. The Dark meat of the chicken will be moister than the breast of the chicken

Throughly mix through.

Add the second 1/2 a can of chopped tomato's now and throughly stir in. Add more if you would like more 'juice' to your curry

Turn the heat down and allow to simmer for 10 mins or until the chicken is heated through.

Mix in fresh Coriander ( if using) and Serve.

You can also use fresh, uncooked chicken breast in this recipe. Just dice in small chunks and add to the pan after you have browned the onion and peppers, However that works out more expensive

This recipe can be adapted to almost any veg or meat, literally anything you have laying around. Sometimes I will use the basics of this dish to cook prawn curry, or I might replace the sweet potato's with pumpkin or parsnips. Basically anything that can be curried, just play with it

I'm quite certain it's low fat as I don't add any fat other than the olive oil and it's a tomato based sauce, which is always a healthier option.
