CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE



Curry Chicken and Rice image

I found this recipe and it sounded so good, but it served 100! I tweaked to serve 4 and use ingredients we like, and the results were great! I've got permission to make again, and I know I will. I love to use bone-in chicken thighs, but boneless breasts or thighs would work very well also.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup butter
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix
1 ½ cups water
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon curry powder
4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion and celery until the onion is slightly tender, about 3 minutes; stir in mushrooms, and cook 1 more minute, stirring often. Mix in the package of rice mix and water; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Mix the golden mushroom soup, sour cream, and curry powder together in a bowl. Stir about 1 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into the rice, reserving 1/2 cup of soup mixture for later. Spread the rice mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, and arrange over the rice. Cover the chicken thighs with the reserved 1/2 cup of soup mixture. Sprinkle the casserole with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Golden raisins, for topping
1 cup basmati rice
1 1/2 cups coconut water
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 bunches scallions, roughly chopped
1 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
5 cloves garlic
1/2 habanero chile pepper, seeded
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground pepper
3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 carrots, chopped
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the rice, coconut water, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover; cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the butter and coconut; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, combine the scallions, cilantro, thyme, garlic, habanero and 1/2 cup water in a food processor or blender; puree to make a smooth paste. Transfer 1 tablespoon to a small bowl; stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 cup water. Transfer the remaining paste to a large bowl and add the chicken and 1 teaspoon salt; toss to coat.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the curry-scallion paste; cook, stirring, until the paste darkens and starts to separate, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through, 15 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium high. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 more minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, the carrots, chickpeas and spinach. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer until the chicken is tender, 15 more minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the rice mixture. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Top with golden raisins.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup rice (try brown for an added fiber boost)
2 tsp canola (or corn) oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 tsp curry powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups skim milk

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (or a 10-oz package cooked chicken breast)
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Cook rice as directed on package. Preheat oven to 400°F. Over medium-high heat, sauté onion, curry, and salt in oil for 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Whisk in milk 1/4 cup at a time.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your casserole. Use free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and a good quality curry powder.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste: If you like your curry milder, use less curry powder. If you like it spicier, add more. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric, to taste.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice should be cooked according to the package directions. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
