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.

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.

Grilled Curry-Coconut Chicken Breast image

Combine delicious curry flavorings with canned coconut milk to create a tender, mildly-flavored marinade for grilled chicken. Hint: If you love curry, add extra curry to the marinade.

Provided by Bibi

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Chicken Breasts

Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 medium lime, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon white pepper
3 medium scallions, sliced, white and green parts divided
6 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken cutlets, about 1/2-inch thick
fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine coconut milk, curry powder, lime juice and zest, honey, garlic, salt, coriander, white pepper, and white parts of scallions in a bowl. Stir briskly until well combined and pout into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add chicken cutlets, squeeze out most of the air, and seal. Gently move chicken cutlets inside the bag so they are fully coated with marinade. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove cutlets from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Discard marinade.
  • When the grill is ready, place cutlets on the grill and grill until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • To serve, place cutlets on a serving platter and sprinkle with reserved chopped scallion greens and chopped cilantro or parsley, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of uniform size and thickness. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Pound the chicken breasts: This will help to tenderize the chicken and make it more receptive to the marinade.
  • Marinate the chicken breasts: The marinade will help to flavor the chicken and keep it moist during cooking. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Chicken is cooked through when internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Make the lime curry sauce: While the chicken is cooking, make the lime curry sauce. This sauce is made with a combination of coconut milk, lime juice, curry powder, and other spices. It is a delicious and flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with the chicken breasts.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with the lime curry sauce: Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce is made, serve the chicken breasts immediately with the lime curry sauce. Garnish with cilantro or chopped peanuts for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts with lime curry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Try it tonight!
