CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE



Curry Chicken and Rice image

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

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.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

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).

CHICKEN CURRY WITH COCONUT RICE



Chicken Curry with Coconut Rice image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely diced Spanish onion
2 cups long-grain rice
One 13- to 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cashews
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon allspice berries
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
2 teaspoons (or more if you like your curry spicier) hot Madras curry powder
3 tablespoons canola oil
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small Spanish onion, thinly sliced
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons tomato paste
6 cups chicken stock
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 mango, chopped
1/2 cup dried coconut
2 green onions, green and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
Honey, to taste

Steps:

  • For the coconut green onion rice: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains in the butter. Add the coconut milk, salt, pepper and 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Stir once, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until tender, about 16 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Spread the cashews on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly golden brown, about 8 minutes. Let cool and finely chop in a food processor.
  • Remove the rice from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork and fold in the green onions and half of the cashews. Let sit 5 minutes more before serving.
  • For the chicken curry: Heat a small saute pan over low heat. Add the allspice, cloves and fennel and toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until you can smell the spices, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the spices to a coffee or spice grinder and finely grind. Combine the ground spices with the curry powder in a small bowl.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then with 1 tablespoon of the curry spices, tapping off any excess. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 8 minutes, and remove to a plate.
  • Add the onion to the Dutch oven and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the ginger and cook for 30 seconds, then add the remaining curry spices and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, salt and pepper and cook until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. Add the cinnamon sticks and mango and cook until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the chicken and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a bowl and discard the cinnamon stick and mango pieces. Add the dried coconut and the remaining 1/2 cup cashews and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the heat, return the chicken to the pot and fold in the green onions, cilantro and mint and season with salt, pepper and honey, if needed.
  • To serve: Spoon the rice into bowls and ladle some chicken curry over.

SUPER SIMPLE, SUPER QUICK CHICKEN CURRY AND RICE



Super Simple, Super Quick Chicken Curry and Rice image

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

Provided by Morrison

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 2 cups chicken and rice, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon chicken base and 1 cup hot water or 1 cup chicken stock, instead of water and base combination
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 tablespoon dark chili powder
1/2 tablespoon minced onions (dehydrated) or 3 tablespoons onions, diced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

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.
