Curried Chicken with Bell Peppers

Indian cuisine is the latest trend in Canadian homes, but the ingredients often make it difficult to make at home. This variation gives you the flavours without all the work and expertise.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Coat the chicken in the flour. In a large skillet sprayed
with vegetable oil, add 2 tsp (10 mL) oil and sauté the
chicken on medium heat until almost cooked through,
about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet, wipe the skillet
and respray with vegetable oil.
2. Add the onions and sauté on medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the bell peppers, garlic, ginger, curry paste, hot
sauce and salt and pepper and sauté for 3 minutes.
3. Combine the coconut milk and cornstarch until dissolved
and add to the vegetables along with the salsa, lemon juice
and sugar. Add the chicken, cover and simmer for
3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Garnish with the cilantro and cashews. Serve over
jasmine rice if using.
