Chicken Curry
This mildly spicy dish is best served with basmati rice.
Makes 3 to 4 servings
3 garlic cloves
1 to 2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and cut into 3 pieces
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or ghee*, divided
2 teaspoons curry powder (previous recipe)
1½ pounds boneless chicken breast, cut into ½-inch strips
(cutting width-wise)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 cup chicken broth, reduced sodium
½ cup coconut milk
1 medium sweet potato, about 8 ounces,
peeled and cut into ½-inch dice**
½ cup frozen peas
Chop the garlic and ginger together in a Cuisinart
®
Mini Chopper or Food Processor.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the oil or ghee. When
oil is hot, stir in the chopped garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the curry powder and continue to cook for an additional minute or two.
Place chicken in a stainless mixing bowl and toss well with the garlic mixture. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
Once chicken has marinated, place a large sauté pan over medium to medium-high
heat. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Add another tablespoon of oil and
brown the chicken on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Brown the chicken
in batches so that the pan is not overcrowded. Once chicken is browned reserve in a
separate bowl.
Add remaining oil to sauté pan and add the onions and jalapeño. Stir and sauté until
vegetables are soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth to the
pan, scraping up any browned bits that have been left on the bottom. Stir in the
coconut milk and add the sweet potato; cover. Reduce heat to low to let the sauce
simmer lightly. After about 8 to 10 minutes add the reserved chicken. Continue to
simmer, covered, until chicken is completely cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the peas.
Serve in bowls with basmati rice.
*Ghee is clarified butter that is commonly used in Indian cooking. It is possible to
clarify butter at home or in a jar or it can be bought in specialty food stores.
**Hold the cut sweet potato in cold water so that it will not turn brown.
