Chicken Keema with Simply Chicken Mince

If you’re after big flavour without the fuss, this HECK! Chicken Keema is the one to try. Using our lean and protein-packed Simply Chicken Mince, it’s a lighter spin on the traditional keema but still full of rich, aromatic spices.

This dish is versatile enough for a quick weeknight dinner but tasty enough to serve at a family feast. The chicken mince soaks up all the spices, while peas add a pop of sweetness, and fresh coriander finishes it off with freshness.
