Recipe : Chicken Curry

Serves 2 - 4

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients 
  • 3/4 - 1 pound chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into chunks about 1 1/2 inches
  • 2 potatoes, peeled, chopped into chunks
  • 1 red onion, peeled and chopped
  • 10 baby carrots, washed, drained, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons oil for stir-frying
  • 2 tablespoons curry paste (traditional Indian yellow curry paste is best)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black or white pepper, to taste
  • Ground coriander, optional
Preparation:

Heat a wok or deep-sided frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the heated wok. When the oil is hot, add the onion. Stir-fry until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the curry paste and stir-fry until fragrant. (If using curry powder instead, add a small amount of water to form a paste).

Add the chicken and stir-fry for about 5 minutes so that the chicken is browned and coated with the curry paste.Add the carrots and potatoes. Stir for a minute and add the chicken broth, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Cover and simmer over low heat for about 15 - 20 minutes, making sure the chicken is cooked.Taste the curried chicken and adjust the seasoning if desired. Sprinkle the ground coriander over top.
