   This was a huge hit in our house.  It's so good.  I couldn't find the Pataks Balti paste so used the Madras Chicken Curry Paste instead, and it still tasted fantastic!  It's very easy.  I also put potatoes in.  I also cut the chicken up first and just left it in the frying pan.
 
 Ingredients (serves 6)
 
 * 2 teaspoons olive oil
 * 6 x 150g single chicken breast fillets
 * 1 brown onion, cut into thin wedges
 * 1/4 cup Pataks Balti curry paste
 * 1 cup reduced-salt chicken stock
 * 400g can diced tomatoes
 * 500g kumara (orange sweet potato), peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
 * 200g green beans, topped, halved
 * 1 1/2 cups basmati rice, cooked, to serve
 
 Method
 Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until browned. Slice.
 
 Heat remaining oil in frying pan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add curry paste. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add stock, tomatoes and kumara. Cover. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes.
 
 Add chicken to frying pan. Cover. Cook for 5 minutes. Add beans. Cook, covered, for a further 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with rice.
