CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE
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.

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).

CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE
I updated this chicken and rice dish by adding veggies and cashews to give it fresh and crunchy appeal. The green chilies in the tomatoes give it just the right little kick, but if you really like spice, add fresh, diced jalapeño. -Denise Klibert, Shreveport, Louisiana

CURRIED CHICKEN WITH RICE
This one comes from my newlywed days when I received a whole set of illustrated recipe cards. I tweaked it to suit our tastes into a very flavorsome and aromatic meal! The rice cooks in the microwave while the chicken works in the frying pan; why--dinner will be ready before you know it--altho' you WILL have to listen to LOTS of begging (as in, "What are you making that smells so good?" and "Are we ever going to eat?").

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

Steps:
- 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.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the curry will taste. This is especially true for the chicken, vegetables, and herbs.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the yogurt mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with fresh, flavorful spices.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: The amount of spices in this recipe can be adjusted to suit your taste. If you like a mild curry, use less chili powder and garam masala. If you like a spicy curry, use more.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This curry can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, naan bread, or yogurt.
Conclusion:
This curried chicken with rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be easily customized to suit your taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this curry a try. You won't be disappointed!
