- Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6 and line a large baking sheet with non-stick baking paper.
- Put the chicken breasts between sheets of cling film and bash with a wooden mallet or rolling pin until slightly flattened. Discard the cling film and season the chicken lightly.
- Put the bread in a food processor, blitz to fine crumbs and tip into a wide, shallow bowl. Stir in the lemon zest. Put the eggs in another wide, shallow bowl.
- Dip each chicken breast first in the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Put them on the baking sheet, drizzle over any extra egg and spray with low-calorie cooking spray. Set aside.
- To make the sauce, spray a large non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Stir-fry the onions for 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, then add the curry powder, tomato purée, stock, sweetener and soy sauce. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
- At the same time, put the chicken in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly golden. Slice each chicken breast into thick strips.
- Blitz the sauce using a stick blender or food processor and season to taste (you can keep the sauce chunky if you prefer but it’s more authentic if you give it a good blitz). Spoon the sauce onto 4 plates and top with 1 sliced chicken breast per person.
- Sprinkle with the spring onion and chilli, and serve hot with the rice.
