Time 2h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 pound fresh broccoli
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (14 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons ketchup
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup thinly sliced green onion

Steps:

  • Mix cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, salt, and cayenne together in a small bowl for the spice blend.
  • Coat chicken breasts generously on both sides with about 1/2 of the spice blend and refrigerate, 2 to 12 hours. Reserve remaining spice blend until needed.
  • Cut broccoli florets off the stems. Slice the stems into strips, and then into 1/4-inch cubes, and reserve. Cut the florets into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown well, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer onto a plate and let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
  • While chicken cools, add garlic to the pan drippings. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 30 seconds. Stir in the remaining spice blend and toast for 30 seconds. Pour in coconut milk and stir in ketchup, making sure to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium, stir in chicken broth, and let simmer until reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir cubed broccoli stems into the sauce and cook until almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips, and then into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Increase skillet heat to medium-high and add broccoli florets. Cover and cook until almost tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken, and cook, stirring, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the broccoli is just fully tender, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately. Top with thinly sliced green onions.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM, AND BROCCOLI CURRY CASSEROLE



Chicken, Mushroom, and Broccoli Curry Casserole image

I was first introduced to this recipe by a coworker. I was skeptical at first because I've never been a big fan of curry, and I despise mayonnaise, but after hearing all the raves about it, I decided to give it a try. Wow, was I surprised! I absolutely love this casserole, and I'm sure you will, too.

Categories     Casseroles

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp chef paul prudhomme's poultry magic seasoning blend
2 Tbsp butter
16 oz fresh sliced mushrooms
1 pkg broccoli florets, frozen (12-14 oz.)
2 can(s) cream of chicken soup
1 c real mayonnaise
2 Tbsp curry powder
TOPPING
2 c mild cheddar cheese, shredded (more if desired)
1/2 pkg stuffing mix, herb-seasoned (6 oz. package)
2-3 Tbsp butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add chicken. Sprinkle chicken with poultry seasoning (I use Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic, but you can substitute your favorite seasoning). Saute until chicken is cooked through. Place chicken in a strainer to drain, then spread the cooked seasoned chicken evenly in a 9x13 inch casserole dish or baking pan and set aside.
  • 2. Rinse mushrooms thoroughly with cold water and set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet and add the mushrooms (you can use the same skillet you used for the chicken). Saute until mushrooms are tender and have released a good amount of liquid. Drain well and layer sauteed mushrooms on top of the chicken. NOTE: If mushrooms are undercooked, they will release too much liquid into your casserole, which will result in a runny mess.
  • 3. Layer frozen broccoli florets on top of the sauteed mushrooms. NOTE: You can cook and drain the broccoli prior to adding it to the casserole, but precooking is not necessary.
  • 4. In a small mixing bowl, stir together cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, and curry powder. Spread mixture evenly over the broccoli.
  • 5. Layer shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  • 6. Pour seasoned stuffing mix into a bowl and stir in melted butter to coat the mix. If mix is too dry, add more melted butter, but be careful not to add too much. Sprinkle stuffing mix over the cheese to top the casserole.
  • 7. Place casserole on the center rack of a preheated 350 degree oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and stuffing mix is golden brown.

THAI GREEN CURRY WITH CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND MUSHROOMS RECIPE - (4/5)



Thai Green Curry with Chicken, Broccoli, and Mushrooms Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Freeze the chicken for 15 minutes to make it easier to cut.
2 (14-ounce) cans coconut milk (unsweetened), not shaken
1/2 cup green curry paste (related recipe), or 2 tablespoons store-bought green curry paste
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts , trimmed of excess fat and sliced thin (see below)
Table salt
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets (about 6 ounces)
4 ounces white mushrooms (or shitakes), stems discarded and mushrooms quartered (about 2 cups)
1 medium red bell pepper , stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips
1 large chile (hot), stemmed, seeded, and quartered lengthwise (optional)
1 tablespoon lime juice from 1 lime
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Carefully spoon off about 1 cup of the top layer of cream from one can of coconut milk -- this layer will be thick and possibly solid. Place the coconut cream and curry paste in a large Dutch oven and bring to a simmer over high heat, whisking to blend, about 2 minutes. Maintain this brisk simmer and whisk frequently until almost all of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and whisk constantly until the cream separates into a puddle of colored oil and coconut solids, 3 to 8 minutes. (You should hear the curry paste starting to fry in the oil.) Continue cooking until the curry paste is very aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. 2. Whisk in the remaining coconut milk, the fish sauce, and the brown sugar. Bring back to a brisk simmer and cook until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and add it to the pot, stirring until the pieces are separated and evenly coated with the sauce, about 1 minute. Stir in the broccoli and mushrooms and bring back to a brisk simmer over medium heat. Cook until the vegetables are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and fresh chile, if using, and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice, basil, and mint. Serve immediately.
