Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  2. Place the chicken on a lined baking tray and drizzle with 1/2 tsp oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 20-25 mins, until cooked through.
  3. Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or grate the garlic and ginger. Trim and halve the green beans. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins. Add the garlic, ginger and spice mix, cook for 1 min, then add the passata and green beans. Rinse the carton with 80ml water (40ml for 1 person) and add to the curry. Simmer for 5 mins.
  4. Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, add it to the curry, along with the yoghurt. Stir then season with sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Serve the chicken curry with the rice.
