This one-pot meal can be prepared in just one hour. Since the chicken is already cut into bite-sized pieces before being added to the pot, there's no need to take it out to shred it later.
STEP 1
Add the chicken to a large pot over medium high heat. Season with the curry powder, salt and pepper. Once browned add in the butter and onions and continue cooking until they are tender. Now add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
STEP 2
Stir the flour into the mixture to form the roux. Gradually add the chicken stock, stirring continuously to ensure the roux is fully incorporated. Place the carrots and potatoes into the pot and bring it to a simmer. Keep cooking until the potatoes become tender.
STEP 3
Now stir in the English peas and heavy cream. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the English peas are tender. Enjoy!
