* 2 large chicken breasts (can use another combination of chicken pieces)
* 1/2 large onion, cut lengthwise into thick wedges
* Large yellow pepper, diced
* 1 1/2 tablespoons of yellow curry paste

5. Bring to a gentle boil, lower heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, ensuring chicken is cooked thoroughly
