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).

Thai Style Fried Rice... With a Curry Flavor, Hmmm!!! image

My husband once had this Thai fried rice that was not only spicy-hot, but had a distinct curry flavor. After visiting a Thai restaurant in Jacksonville and him exclaiming "That's it!" I knew I had to try and replicate it. We like things spicy-hot, so adjust chilies and red curry paste according to your taste buds!!

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups of cold steamed jasmine rice
3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 fresh red chili pepper, seeded and sliced
1 -2 fresh green chile (I use serrano)
1 -2 tablespoon Thai red curry paste (I use Thai Kitchen brand)
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 pork chops or 1 chicken breast, finely diced
3 -4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb raw shrimp, shelled and de-veined (chopped if large) (optional)
2 eggs, beaten with
pepper, and
1 teaspoon soy sauce (I use Kikkoman brand)
2 -3 tablespoons of thai-style fish sauce (for the saltiness, I usually go easy and then let people add more themselves)
1/8-1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
3/4-1 cup chopped green onion, including tops
according to your taste chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) or chopped fresh basil (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Be sure rice is completely cool, better cold!
  • Heat oil in wok over medium heat and stir-fry onions and chilies until soft.
  • Add the the red curry paste along with the curry powder to the pan and fry until the oil separates from the mixture.
  • Along with the garlic, add pork or chicken and fry until cooked.
  • Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink.
  • Add rice and toss thoroughly until coated with curry mixture and heated through.
  • If your wok is large enough, push rice to side and pour eggs into center. Cook and stir until eggs just start to set, then mix with rice, tossing on high until eggs are cooked. (Cook eggs in small fry pan until they just start to set if wok is not large enough, then add to rice.).
  • Sprinkle pepper and fish sauce evenly over top and lightly toss, remove from heat.
  • Now lightly toss the chopped green onions into the rice.
  • Have the fresh chopped coriander and basil available for personal preferences, along with fish sauce, soy sauce, and Thai-style chili sauce!
