Gwyneth Paltrow's Sheet Pan Chicken Curry - by Hein van Tonder, awarded food photographer & stylist

I am not sure how this recipe for Gwyneth Paltrow’s Sheet Pan Chicken Curry crossed my path but it looked delicious, super easy and quick to make so I decided to give it a go. The recipe comes from her book The Clean Plate: Delicious, Healthy Recipes for Everyday Glow that was published recently (and I have not read).

It really is an easy recipe, great for mid-week meals or weekend cooking when you don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. Chicken pieces and cauliflower florets covered in a flavoursome curry paste and then roasted till cooked. Serve with some fresh coriander, a dollop of yoghurt, piping hot naan and a glass of beer or two and dinner is sorted The recipe is suitable for all seasons, I mean, what time of the year is a curry not a good idea.

The original recipe only serves 2 people so I doubled it up to serve four. It also called for boneless and skinless chicken breast which for me personally is the most uninteresting cut of a chicken so I swapped it out with 4 chicken drumsticks and 4 thighs. I find that those cuts have so much flavour. And of course, I want some chicken skin. Isn’t that the best part?

I also cut out the pickled onion of the original recipe as I did not find the flavour combination appealing. You could bulk up the recipe by adding a tin of chickpeas to the pan. Just make more of the spice mix to coat them with and beware that chickpeas do “pop” when roasted but I do think it will be a tasty and filling addition to the dish.
