• Heat a large shallow pan. Tip in the chicken and marinade and fry for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a pan and fry the onion and chilli for 3-4 minutes until just soft. Add the turmeric and stir fry for 1 minute. Lower the heat, pour in the cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

FAST, CREAMY CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Place oil in a large skillet and turn heat to medium high. A minute later, add onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; sprinkle with about half the curry powder and continue to cook for a minute or two.
• Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken slices with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with the remaining curry powder. Remove onions to a plate, add a bit more oil to the pan and add the chicken in one layer. Cook about 2 minutes per side over medium heat; remove to a plate.
• Return onions to the pan and add sour cream. Stir into the onions and cook, stirring constantly over low heat, until the mixture is hot. Return chicken to skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until cooked through, turning once. Garnish and serve with white rice.
