Chicken, broccoli and peanut-butter curry

We love a delicious heart-warming curry to warm us up when it’s cold outside. This chicken, broccoli and peanut-butter curry is one of our favourites for a midweek dinner. It’s quick, easy and fuss-free and a guaranteed hit with the family. Serve it with some chargrilled naan bread to mop up the yummy sauce.
