Baked Curry Chicken With a Side of Coconut Rice image

These two recipes are from two cookbooks that I own (the curry chicken from "Cooking Jewish" by Judy Bart Kancigor, and the coconut rice from "The Joy of Cooking" cookbook), except that I made a few substitutions, and I have figured out how our family likes these. I usually open a can or two of green beans, and I just heat those up to serve with this, but any veggie would be nice.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each)
1/4 cup butter (4 Tablespoons)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons curry powder (mild or hot, whatever you prefer)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (I have used fat free regular milk instead at times, and it worked fine-just not coconut-y)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup jasmine rice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sweetened coconut, shredded and toasted

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x9 baking pan with cooking spray, and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking pan.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the honey, mustard, dry mustard, garlic, lemon juice, curry powder, and salt, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour about 2/3 of the sauce over the chicken. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and bake for 10 minutes,.
  • Then, uncover and baste with sauce. Continue baking, uncovered, basting occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Once you put the chicken in the oven, start the rice.
  • Combine the coconut milk, water, rice, ginger, and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil.
  • Once it boils, reduce the heat to a very low heat (like simmer) until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • A few minutes before serving the rice, stir in the toasted coconut.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken, like thighs or drumsticks.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the curry sauce was flavorful and aromatic. The coconut rice was also delicious and perfectly complemented the curry. I will definitely be making this dish again.
