Easy Chinese chicken curry

A crowd-pleasing easy chicken curry, packed with the Chinese flavours you'd expect from the takeaway version, but still keeping the calories low and the protein high. The sauce freezes well and is really easy to make using two popular spice blends: curry powder and five-spice. Each serving provides 487 kcal, 37g protein, 66g carbohydrates (of which 10.5g sugars), 7g fat (of which 1.5g saturates), 4.5g fibre and 2g salt.
