Main Course

This one-pan curried chicken and rice is perfect for a weeknight. Bites of chicken, onion and bell pepper are seasoned with our organic Curry Powder, a warm blend of coriander, turmeric, cumin, fenugreek and cardamom, then simmered right on top of fluffy basmati rice and finished with creamy coconut milk. Easy Indian-inspired flavor, gluten-free and dairy-free, with only one skillet to wash.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-1/2" pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 5 teaspoons Organic Curry Powder, divided (1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 cup basmati rice, rinsed
  • 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large (2" deep) skillet with lid. Add chicken, onion, bell peppers, and sauté for a couple minutes.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté for another minute or two, until the chicken is golden on the outside. (Chicken will not be fully cooked yet.)
  3. Transfer to a plate and tent it with tin foil to keep warm.
  4. In the same pan, combine rice, chicken broth, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 2 teaspoons curry powder. Stir well.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken mixture to the skillet. Do not stir; simply arrange it in a single layer on the rice. Cover and cook for 10 more minutes, until the rice is tender and the chicken reaches 165°F.
  7. Uncover, stir in sugar & coconut milk. Add salt, to taste.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve!
