CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE



Curry Chicken and Rice image

I found this recipe and it sounded so good, but it served 100! I tweaked to serve 4 and use ingredients we like, and the results were great! I've got permission to make again, and I know I will. I love to use bone-in chicken thighs, but boneless breasts or thighs would work very well also.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup butter
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix
1 ½ cups water
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon curry powder
4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion and celery until the onion is slightly tender, about 3 minutes; stir in mushrooms, and cook 1 more minute, stirring often. Mix in the package of rice mix and water; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Mix the golden mushroom soup, sour cream, and curry powder together in a bowl. Stir about 1 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into the rice, reserving 1/2 cup of soup mixture for later. Spread the rice mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, and arrange over the rice. Cover the chicken thighs with the reserved 1/2 cup of soup mixture. Sprinkle the casserole with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  • **** Available at supermarkets and at Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin markets.

Tips:

  • For a creamier curry, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  • To make the cashew rice, be sure to use long-grain rice. Short-grain rice will get too sticky.
  • If you don't have cashews, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds or walnuts.
  • For a vegan version of this dish, omit the yogurt and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
