Curry Chicken with rice

Main course

Curry dishes are one of my favorite things to eat for lunch or dinner. Ryan and I found a Thai restaurant in our town that I loved so much. All ingredients were so fresh and the curry was so delicious. Due to Covid and a long span of road construction in front of this restaurant it was closed down. I am still so sad about this. I came to the conclusion that I had to learn how to make my own curry dish. This is my attempt at curry with white rice. As I make it more in the future I will update this recipe based on my likes. Know that whatever recipe you see on this site it is the updated version. There is something special about a curry sauce combined with veggies and rice that makes my mouth so happy. Curry is also eaten with naan bread, or other types of bread. My favorite is white rice.

6 Tbsp coconut oil

3 lbs chicken tenders

7 Tbsp curry powder

salt & pepper to taste

1 medium yellow onion, finley chopped

½ can tomato paste

2 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp ground coriander

½ tsp chili powder

4 Tbsp ground ginger

2 tsp minced garlic

2, 28 oz containers coconut milk

2 c. chicken broth

Chop up your chicken into bite size pieces and throw into a bowl. Sprinkle over chicken, 1 Tbsp curry powder, salt & pepper (to taste)  and mix well.

In a large skillet place 1 Tbsp of coconut oil and heat up skillet to medium heat. Once melted add your chicken and cook until the outside is browned but not cooked all the way through. Just a little pink in the middle. Pull chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate or in a bowl.

Add 2 Tbsp of coconut oil in the same skillet on medium heat until melted. Add your chopped up onions (I like mine finely chopped) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Stir in garlic and ginger.

In same skillet combine tomato paste, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and 6 Tbsp of curry powder. Stir until it forms a nice paste.

Dump in your liquids, coconut milk and chicken broth and stir with a whisk until it starts to thicken.

Add chicken and any veggies you would like to add. We like frozen carrots, green beans and peas. Cook until it starts to boil and turn down your heat to low and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Check your chicken to see if the pink is cooked out.

Rice: We love white rice with our curry chicken. Jasmine rice is the perfect consistency (sticky). When cooking rice make sure to rinse off the rice before you cook it. We usually cook up 3 cups of rice in 3 1/2 cups of water. If you're cooking on the stove bring your rice & water to a boil and turn down  heat to low setting and let simmer for 13 minutes with lid on top. After time is up take pot off the heat and let stand (lid on) for 10 more minutes.  Then it's ready to eat.  

Some of our family members like their curry spicy and some do not so we have Cheyenne or red pepper flakes on the side for anyone that wants to spice up their dish. Sprinkle what you want in your bowl of curry and stir together. Seriously so easy to make and delicious to eat!!!
