Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

2. 2

   Reduce the heat, cover the pan and cook for 10 mins. Add the mushrooms and peas, then cook for a further 5 mins until the chicken and vegetables are tender. Scatter with basil to serve.

   If you want to use a slow cooker, cook the chicken in a frying pan until lightly coloured, then tip into your slow cooker and coat in the curry sauce. Add the parsnips, coconut milk, fish sauce and sugar, then cover and cook on High for 3-5 hours. Check the chicken is tender, then add the mushrooms and peas and cook for a further 30 mins.
