Super Simple, Super Quick Chicken Curry and Rice

"I had never made curry before but decided to give it a shot. I would call this recipe a medium-hot dish. I put in quite a bit of curry, but there is a lot of rice and chicken for it to cover. This recipe is for 1 person, but can be easily multiplied. If you use chicken stock for this recipe do not use the chicken base"

directions

  • Dissolve chicken base in hot water (skip this step if using stock).
  • Pour dissolved base/stock in 2" deep pan.
  • Add chicken to pan and place on medium-high heat.
  • Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT rice.
  • Cook chicken uncovered, stirring often to coat with spices.
  • Remove chicken from heat and cover to keep warm. You will use the liquid from the pan in the next step.
  • Add rice to separate pan and prepare as directed, BUT instead of using water to cook, add the drippings from the chicken pan. I usually get about 1/2 cup of drippings and then top that off with the water necessary to cook the rice. The rice I use needs 1 1/3 cup of water for 1/2 cup uncooked rice. This will yield 2 cups of cooked rice.
  • When rice is finished cooking, spoon rice back into chicken pan and place on medium-high heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

  1. This was very tasty. My DH LOVED it. I thought it would turn out a little creamier, so I added a splash of half and half (it was what I had on hand). It was VERY hot, but I don't like spicy food that much, so I added plain yogurt on top of mine. We really liked this, we will be adding it to our regular menu.
     
  2. Very yummy and definitely a keeper. I tripled the recipe and it fed four of us with nice big servings. I kind of eyeballed the spices and used cayenne instead of pepper flakes. May cut back just a bit on that next time but was very good. Oh, I also used chicken tenderloins which were nice since I just served them whole on top of the rice.
     
  3. This is a good baseline for a simple curry. I added a splash of milk & 1 TBLSP of sour cream. I also added salt & pepper to taste. I kept the rice separate & treated it like a sauce. I had simmered for 20 minutes or so to reduce & turned out wonderful!! My kids & husband are asking for more. Will be doing it again.
     
  4. I used chicken thighs and made 2 cups of rice. I used a curry base,garlic, chili powder, onion powder, roasted curry powder, unrpasted curry powder and black pepper! It'd a lot, but it came out SMOKING GOOD! I LOVE THIS RECIPE, however, with my additions, it was FABULOUS! Thank you!
     
  5. Excellent!!! We loved this dish. I did not change anything and my husband thought it was<br/>great.
