Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¼-inch strips
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2½ teaspoons curry powder, divided
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cups low sodium chicken broth, best quality such as Swanson
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup frozen peas (no need to thaw)
¼ cup plain low fat (2%) or whole Greek yogurt (do not use nonfat)
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken evenly with ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon curry powder.
  • Heat 1½ tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but still pink in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer the partially cooked chicken to a clean bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1½ tablespoons oil to the skillet and set heat to medium. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger and remaining 1½ teaspoons curry powder and cook until fragrant, about a minute more.
  • Whisk the chicken broth and cornstarch together to dissolve the cornstarch, then add to the skillet along with the sugar and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is nicely thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the peas and partially cooked chicken to the skillet, turn the heat down to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, a few minutes. Off the heat, stir in the yogurt and cilantro; then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with basmati rice.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CURRY



Chicken Breasts With Curry image

Here, standard weeknight chicken breasts are transformed into a dish that's fragrant and spicy. It's very easy to prepare: just make a quick stew of butter, onions, celery, garlic, apple, tomatoes and curry powder. Blend that together in a food processor until it forms a thick sauce, then combine with chicken breasts that have been lightly browned. Simmer until heated through, and enjoy with a snowy pile of rice. It beats takeout curry by a mile.

Provided by Kim Severson

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
6 large (about 6 ounces each) or 12 small (about 3 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Canola oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped tarragon plus 1 tablespoon whole tarragon leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix together paprika and curry powder, and sprinkle on both sides of chicken breasts; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Place 2 breasts on large sheet of plastic wrap, cover with more plastic and pound with a mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with remaining breasts. (Chicken may be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.)
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add enough canola oil to film the bottom of pan. Working in batches, without crowding, place breasts smooth side down and let cook until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
  • Wipe out skillet and return to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and shallot, and sauté for 30 seconds, swirling pan to coat shallot with butter. Add wine, raise heat to medium-high, and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add stock, bring to boil, and cook until reduced and slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in chopped tarragon, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and any juices that have accumulated on baking sheet. Swirl to melt butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken on a warmed platter, pour sauce over it, and garnish with whole tarragon leaves.

SAUTEED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CURRY SAUCE



Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Curry Sauce image

Categories     Chicken     Sauté     Low Fat     Curry     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 4-ounce skinless boneless chicken breast halves
6 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 large egg whites
1 large egg
5 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Place chicken breast halves between layers of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Place 5 tablespoons flour in pie dish. Whisk egg whites, egg, 4 1/2 teaspoons curry powder and salt in shallow bowl to blend. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat 3 chicken breasts with flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg mixture. Add to skillet and sauté until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Repeat with 2 teaspoons oil and remaining chicken. Tent chicken with foil to keep warm.
  • Heat remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon flour and remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder and stir 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in broth. Bring to boil, whisking constantly. Boil until thickened to sauce consistency, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return chicken to skillet and turn to coat with sauce. Transfer chicken to platter. Drizzle with any remaining sauce and serve.

Tips

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh chicken breasts, vegetables, and herbs will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly and the sauce will be watery.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful curry sauce. There are many different curry sauces available, so choose one that you like the taste of.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Rice, noodles, or vegetables are all good options.

Conclusion

Sautéed chicken breasts with curry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
