Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¼-inch strips
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2½ teaspoons curry powder, divided
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cups low sodium chicken broth, best quality such as Swanson
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup frozen peas (no need to thaw)
¼ cup plain low fat (2%) or whole Greek yogurt (do not use nonfat)
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken evenly with ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon curry powder.
  • Heat 1½ tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but still pink in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer the partially cooked chicken to a clean bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1½ tablespoons oil to the skillet and set heat to medium. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger and remaining 1½ teaspoons curry powder and cook until fragrant, about a minute more.
  • Whisk the chicken broth and cornstarch together to dissolve the cornstarch, then add to the skillet along with the sugar and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is nicely thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the peas and partially cooked chicken to the skillet, turn the heat down to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, a few minutes. Off the heat, stir in the yogurt and cilantro; then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with basmati rice.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup red curry paste
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the sheet pan
1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 pound carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
12 skin-on chicken drumsticks
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Basmati rice, for serving (two to three 8.5-ounce pouches of microwave rice, cooked according to package directions)
12 ounces plain Greek yogurt, for serving
2 limes, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the curry paste, vegetable oil, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  • Put the green beans and carrots on an oiled sheet pan and pour slightly less than half the curry mixture over them. Use a pair of tongs to toss and coat them. Season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • Nestle the chicken drumsticks on the sheet pan. Using a spatula or spoon, spread the remaining curry mixture on the drumsticks. Do your best to coat them evenly. Season the chicken with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Roast the chicken and vegetables (turning them halfway through to prevent them from getting too dark on the bottom) until they are tender and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken (without touching the bone) reads 170 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
  • Scrape the chicken, vegetables, and any browned bits from the pan onto a large serving dish and garnish with the cilantro.
  • Serve with rice, yogurt and lime wedges.

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your paninis taste their best. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and tender chicken.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter is what makes paninis so golden and delicious. Be generous with it when you're grilling the bread.
  • Get creative with your fillings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to fillings for paninis. Try different combinations of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and sauces to find your favorites.
  • Serve paninis immediately: Paninis are best enjoyed fresh out of the grill. If you're making them ahead of time, wrap them tightly in foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven or on a grill.
