Cath’s Chicken Curry (serves 4)

I love this recipe! So creamy and tasty and yet only 250 calories!  I prepare this and pop it in the oven before walking the dog and dinner is ready on my return!  Freezes beautifully too!  Put in the freezer in individual portions.  Great for when you need something quick and easy!
