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

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.

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).
