JULIE'S BAKED CHICKEN KORMA & RICE
This is the recipe I came up with to make chicken korma to take to a potluck, based on the excellent korma recipe my husband uses. I wanted to make it in a casserole form that would be easy to just mix together and bake then take in the same pan to the potluck. The folks at the gathering loved it, so I think it came out pretty darn well. :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large saucepan sauté the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms (if using) in butter and olive oil until onions are opaque.
- Add spices and the remaining sauce ingredients except for one of the cans of broth (or half of your homemade); simmer for 5 minutes.
- Turn off heat and add cubed chicken; stir.
- Put uncooked rice in the bottom a large lightly-oiled lasagne pan and carefully pour the chicken/sauce mixture over (the pan will be pretty darn full).
- (You can also just mix the rice into the sauce and pour into the pan, but if you do so make sure you evenly distribute the rice on the bottom of the pan.) Bake in 375 degree oven for 30 minutes, add the remaining can of chicken broth into the pan and stir well, then bake for an additional 30 minutes until rice is cooked through.
- Makes about 10-12 potluck servings.
CHICKEN KORMA
This is a rich, coconutty, velvety korma which really tastes like the real thing. It won't have the artificial 'neon' yellow that Indian takeaways do, but it'll taste all the better for it.

JULIE'S CROCK POT KORMA

Steps:
- Stir together all ingredients except for the coconut milk and half and half in the crock pot.
- Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or until rice is tender, stirring well every couple of hours.
- 30 minutes before serving add in the coconut milk and the half and half, stir well, and let cook for another 30 minutes (you can add more half/half or chicken broth if the mixture needs more liquid).
- Makes about 4 servings.
- You can also add cauliflower pieces into the recipe to stretch it and it tastes great! I've also added cubes of extra firm tofu when I add the coconut milk, and those taste great, as well.
- Note: I recommend using a type of rice that stands up well to slow-cooking, such as Uncle Ben's; Thai rice, for instance, will turn into mush if it slow cooks for too long. Either that, or cook the rice separately and you'll have lots of tasty sauce for the meal!
Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs that are fresh or thawed. If using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the yogurt mixture for at least 30 minutes helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can skip this step, but the chicken will be less flavorful.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: A heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the food from sticking. If you don't have a heavy-bottomed pot, you can use a regular pot or skillet, but be sure to reduce the heat to medium-low and stir the food frequently.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the chicken and vegetables to the pot, don't overcrowd it. If the pot is too crowded, the food will not cook evenly. If necessary, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir: A wooden spoon is less likely to scratch the pot or Dutch oven than a metal spoon.
- Be patient: It takes time for the curry to develop its full flavor. Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, stirring occasionally. The longer you simmer the curry, the more flavorful it will be.
Conclusion:
Julie's Baked Chicken Korma with Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the sauce is creamy and rich, and the rice is perfectly cooked. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table. If you are looking for a new chicken recipe to try, I highly recommend Julie's Baked Chicken Korma with Rice.
