Method
- Put all the marinade ingredients in a food processor. Whizz to a sauce.
- Put the chicken in a container and pour over the marinade. Cover and chill in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight to marinate.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the pan, reserving the marinade. Brown lightly on each side for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Pour over the marinade, then add the green beans and red pepper. Cover and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat showing. Add the spinach and stir for a minute to wilt.
- Serve the chicken curry with the rice noodles in bowls, with coriander leaves scattered over.
