ONE-POT JAPANESE CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE



One-Pot Japanese Curry Chicken and Rice image

Usually milder and sweeter than Indian curries, classic Japanese curry is a thick beef-and-vegetable stew served over rice. This recipe is not a traditional one, but rather an easy weeknight version, a one-pot meal featuring juicy chicken thighs, vegetables and rice. Instead of relying on store-bought or homemade instant curry roux, this dish relies on a few spices to mimic traditional Japanese curry flavors. Curry powder, ground nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce are combined and bloomed in butter to create the round and rich sauce. Onions, potatoes and carrots create the bulk of traditional Japanese curry, but sweet potatoes, cauliflower and peas would be great substitutions or additions. Serve the meal with any type of pickle you have on hand for a vinegary hit to contrast the rich curry.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 large thighs)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped white or yellow onion
3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice, rinsed until water runs clear
1 large baking potato (about 1 pound), such as russets, white or Idaho, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch-thick (1 1/2 cups)
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Chopped scallions, pickles, kimchi and/or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil with 1 tablespoon butter over medium until butter is melted. Working in two batches, brown chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side, and transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion to the pot, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Add curry powder, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and stir until butter is melted and spices are fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add rinsed rice and stir until evenly coated in spices. Add potato, carrots, broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping bottom of pot to lift up any browned bits. Season broth generously with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken (and any accumulated juices) on top, skin-side up, and bring to a boil over high. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until most of the liquid is absorbed and chicken is golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Divide chicken and rice among bowls, and garnish with scallions. Serve with any combination of pickles, kimchi and hot sauce.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND RICE WITH GINGER AND CUMIN



One-Pot Chicken and Rice With Ginger and Cumin image

Inspired by Indian flavors, this one-pot chicken-and-rice pilaf comes together in under an hour by taking advantage of spices that pack a punch: Mustard seeds bring heat, cumin adds nutty notes and cardamom provides depth and warmth - and all of the spices are toasted in oil and butter, which concentrates their flavor. Golden raisins lend a touch of sweetness. To make it a vegetarian side, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth or even water in place of the chicken broth.

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Hot sauce and yogurt, for serving (optional)

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock, divided, or more to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.
