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.

INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY

My husband loves curry so I thought I'd give it a try. He loved it! I didn't have plain yogurt when I made it so I substituted some light sour cream and light coconut milk and it was scrumptious! I also used WAY less of the cayenne pepper then it called for. This recipe is originally from Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2003, one of my favorites.

INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 chicken breasts (about 12 ounces), boneless and skinless, split
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fine Indian curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground garam masala, optional
1/2 cup crushed canned tomatoes
3/4 cup Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat

Steps:

  • In a straight-sided medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, place in skillet, and cook until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove chicken breasts, and set aside. Reduce heat to medium low.
  • Add onions, and saute, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until onions are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add ginger, curry, and garam masala, and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and stock. Add reserved chicken breasts, and bring to a boil.
  • Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook until chicken is tender, turning once, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately, sliced if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and high-quality spices.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the chicken in a hot oven: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.
  • Use a variety of spices: Indian cuisine is known for its use of bold spices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find a flavor profile that you enjoy.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, and parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
