Fast & fragrant chicken & chickpea curry

Fast & fragrant chicken & chickpea curry

A pouch of aromatic curry sauce makes light work of this korma-style curry. Ready-diced chicken breast, chickpeas, spinach, green beans and onion simmer together in the sauce with a sprinkle of cardamom and cinnamon for a fuss-free, fragrant feast. A squeeze of lemon and a flourish of fresh coriander seal the deal.
