Put 100g (½ cup) quinoa* (see Make it yours) in a sieve, then rinse well and drain. Put in a small saucepan with 180ml (¾ cup) water, cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 12-15 mins until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for 5 mins.
Step 2 — Prep ingredients
Meanwhile, crush or finely chop 1 garlic clove. Halve the carrot lengthwise and thinly slice. Trim the beans and halve on an angle. Thinly slice the chicken, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 3 — Brown chicken
Lightly spray or brush a medium deep frypan with vegetable oil and heat over high heat. Stir-fry the chicken for 3 mins or until browned. Add the garlic and half the curry powder* and stir-fry for 1 min or until fragrant.
Step 4 — Simmer curry
Add the coconut milk, carrot, beans and 60ml (¼ cup) water to the chicken mixture. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 mins or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender but still with crunch.
Step 5 — Serve up
Add ½ tsp soy sauce and ½ tsp white vinegar to the curry and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat. Season the quinoa with salt and pepper. Divide the quinoa and chicken curry among bowls and enjoy!
Step 6 — Make it yours
As this is a low-calorie dish, we recommend using only 100g quinoa. However, if you wish to add it all, simply add an extra 60ml (¼ cup) water to the pan when cooking the quinoa.
