Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1, 15 oz can petite diced tomatoes and juices
- 1 cup coconut curry simmer sauce OR 3-4 T curry paste of preferred spice level
- 2 cups prepared Basmati rice
For garnish:
- mango chutney
- banana slices
- raisins
- coconut flakes
Instructions
- First, peel and chop the onion and set it aside. Then rinse, seed, and chop the bell peppers into small chunks. Set these vegetables aside. Rinse and/ or soak 1 cup of basmati rice.
- Next, rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry. Then cut the chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the warm pan and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until the pieces are cooked thoroughly and opaque. Remove the chicken to a bowl, cover, and keep warm.
- If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion and peppers to the pan and sauté until your desired doneness.
- Add the chicken back to the pan with the veggies, can of diced tomatoes (and juices), and 1/2 cup curry simmer sauce (OR 3-4 T of curry paste). Stir to combine and set heat to low.
- While this is simmering, prepare the rice according to package directions, to yield 4-6 servings of rice. Be sure to rinse or soak the rice before cooking for best results.
- Serve this Chicken Curry over rice with chutney (we love mango flavored), sliced bananas, flaked coconut, and raisins. This meal is great for serving in a family style so that everyone can add what garnishes they want according to their preferences.
