Here is an unbelievably easy though super flavorful weeknight dish that's bound to become a household favorite.

Empty the pan, then make a quick sauce of shallots, chicken broth, heavy cream, olive oil and butter. Return the chicken and zucchini to the pot and warm through. That's it. Serve it over rice or couscous, or with a side of mashed potatoes.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, weeknight, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 zucchini, about 1/2 pound, ends trimmed
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Put chicken pieces in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the oil, salt and pepper.
  • Trim off the ends of the zucchini and cut it into 12 rounds, each about 1/2-inch thick. Add zucchini and curry powder to the chicken and blend well with the fingers to coat the pieces evenly.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy skillet and add the chicken pieces in one layer. Scatter the zucchini rounds between the chicken pieces, preferably in one layer. Cook over moderately high heat until chicken pieces are nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces and the zucchini rounds and cook over moderately low heat about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken pieces and zucchini rounds to a warm serving dish.
  • Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the butter. Add shallots and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add broth and cook until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Add cream, stir and bring to a boil. Return chicken and zucchini pieces to the sauce and turn the pieces in the sauce. Cook about 2 minutes.

CURRIED ZUCCHINI SOUP



Curried Zucchini Soup image

From Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special (1999). One of my favorite soups for any time of year but would be a great way to use up too much zucchini during the summer. I use a good curry powder from Penzey's and sometimes replace up to 1/2 teaspoon with a hot curry blend for more heat. I also sometimes replace half the potatoes with sweet potatoes. Could use chicken stock for a non-veggie option. Serve hot or chilled.

Yield Makes 16 fried zucchini blossoms, serving 4 as an hors d'oeuvre

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 to 1 1/8 cups chilled seltzer or club soda
1/4 pound mozzarella, grated coarse (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander
16 zucchini blossoms, pistils removed it desired
vegetable oil for deep-frying

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together the flour, the curry powder, and the salt, add 1 cup of the seltzer, and whisk the batter until it is smooth. Let the batter stand for 10 minutes and, if desired, thin it with enough of the remaining seltzer to reach the consistency of crêpe batter. In a small bowl toss together the mozzarella and the coriander and divide the mixture among the blossoms, stuffing it inside them and pressing the ends of the blossoms closed.
  • In a deep skillet heat 1 inch of the oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer. Working quickly in batches, dip the blossoms, 1 at a time, in the batter, coating them completely, and fry them in the oil, turning them, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. (Make sure the oil returns to 375°F. before adding each new batch.) Transfer the blossoms as they are fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, sprinkle them with salt, and serve them warm.

QUINOA, ZUCCHINI, & LEEK CURRIED KUGEL RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Quinoa, Zucchini, & Leek Curried Kugel Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by blum099

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 leek, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 cup of quinoa
1 cup of water
1/8 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 clove of garlic
2 medium-sized zucchini, sliced
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon curry powder
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In 1 tablespoon olive oil, sauté the leek over a medium flame until tender. Once leek is tender, add quinoa and toast for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the water and a 1/8 teaspoon salt and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Cover and set aside. In a separate frying pan, add the garlic and the other tablespoon of olive oil and sauté over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add zucchini and sauté for 5 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, eggs, and curry thoroughly. Stir in the zucchini and quinoa and mix well. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch round baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown

Tips:

  • For a flavorful and aromatic curry, use a good quality curry powder or garam masala.
  • If you don't have curry powder or garam masala, you can substitute with a blend of ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
  • To make the curry more creamy, add a dollop of yogurt or coconut milk.
  • For a vegan version of the curry, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the yogurt.
  • Serve the curry with rice, quinoa, or naan bread.
