Chicken Jalfrezi

This Chicken Jalfrezi recipe pairs well with rice and either Naan or Roti. Chicken and veggies in a spicy tomato curry, really quick to make and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!

This chicken Jalfrezi is nothing to be scared of. Although the ingredient list may look long, it really isn’t, most of them are spices which you probably already have in your pantry, especially if you’ve been cooking my recipes. Not to mention you can have this on your dinner table in just 45 minutes. Your family will thank you.

This chicken Jalfrezi will last 4-6 months frozen. Let the chicken completely cool down to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container and freezing.

Let the chicken Jalfrezi thaw overnight in the fridge before following the reheating instructions detailed above. While you can reheat straight from the freezer, it will be much easier to work with if it’s thawed first.
