JAPANESE CURRY CHICKEN

Japanese Curry Chicken image

Unlike Indian or Thai curry, Japanese curry is more savory than spicy. This chicken recipe uses Golden Curry® brand curry cubes, that can be found in the Asian section of any grocery store. It's the definition of umami! Oishii desu ne!? (Delicious, isn't it!?)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 ⅓ cups water, divided
1 (7.75 ounce) package curry sauce mix (such as S&B® Golden Curry®)
1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained
5 new potatoes, halved
1 (8 ounce) package sliced cremini mushrooms
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups jasmine rice (such as Mahatma®)

Steps:

Place chicken in a large, deep skillet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 1/3 cup water to the pan, cover, and cook over medium heat until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, pour 2 cups water into a microwave-safe bowl. Break curry sauce mix into pieces and add to water. Heat in the microwave on high for 3 1/2 minutes; remove and stir until sauce mix has completely dissolved.
Remove chicken from the skillet. Cut into cubes, return to the skillet, and pour curry sauce over top. Stir in peas, potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring remaining water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Scoop rice into bowls and serve curry on top.

ONE-POT JAPANESE CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE

One-Pot Japanese Curry Chicken and Rice image

Usually milder and sweeter than Indian curries, classic Japanese curry is a thick beef-and-vegetable stew served over rice. This recipe is not a traditional one, but rather an easy weeknight version, a one-pot meal featuring juicy chicken thighs, vegetables and rice. Instead of relying on store-bought or homemade instant curry roux, this dish relies on a few spices to mimic traditional Japanese curry flavors. Curry powder, ground nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce are combined and bloomed in butter to create the round and rich sauce. Onions, potatoes and carrots create the bulk of traditional Japanese curry, but sweet potatoes, cauliflower and peas would be great substitutions or additions. Serve the meal with any type of pickle you have on hand for a vinegary hit to contrast the rich curry.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 large thighs)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped white or yellow onion
3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice, rinsed until water runs clear
1 large baking potato (about 1 pound), such as russets, white or Idaho, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch-thick (1 1/2 cups)
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Chopped scallions, pickles, kimchi and/or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil with 1 tablespoon butter over medium until butter is melted. Working in two batches, brown chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side, and transfer to a plate.
Add onion to the pot, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Add curry powder, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and stir until butter is melted and spices are fragrant, 1 minute.
Add rinsed rice and stir until evenly coated in spices. Add potato, carrots, broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping bottom of pot to lift up any browned bits. Season broth generously with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken (and any accumulated juices) on top, skin-side up, and bring to a boil over high. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until most of the liquid is absorbed and chicken is golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
Divide chicken and rice among bowls, and garnish with scallions. Serve with any combination of pickles, kimchi and hot sauce.
