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.

FAST, CREAMY CHICKEN CURRY



Fast, Creamy Chicken Curry image

A blended curry powder is one of the original convenience foods, a venerable spice rub that can improve the flavor of almost anything. Even a good chicken breast is about as bland as meat can get, but spiced with a little curry, its flavor comes alive. In this dish, season sliced onions and chicken breast with the spice and finish the sauce with sour cream. The process is streamlined so that it takes no more than 25 minutes. Begin cooking white rice, the natural accompaniment, before cutting the onion. (After reading some of the reader comments on the original recipe, we decided to retest it, and we've made some changes and clarifications to the below recipe.)

1 cup sour cream

  • Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken slices with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with the remaining curry powder. Remove onions to a plate, add a bit more oil to the pan and add the chicken in one layer. Cook about 2 minutes per side over medium heat; remove to a plate.

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.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup cooking oil
1 ½ cups chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon water
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup water
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat; partially cook the chicken in the hot oil in batches until completely browned. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-high; add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the oil remaining in the skillet and cook and stir until the onion turns translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon of water into the onion mixture; allow to heat together for about 1 minute while stirring. Mix the tomatoes, yogurt, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon salt into the mixture. Return the chicken breast to the skillet along with any juices on the plate. Pour 1/2 cup water into the mixture; bring to a boil, turning the chicken to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the garam masala and 1 tablespoon cilantro over the chicken.
  • Cover the skillet and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with lemon juice to serve.
