Delicious Chicken Curry with Jasmine Rice and Carrots

chicken with white rice and red yellow curry sauce

I really love this simple and classic Asian recipe. The flavors mix so well taking you to exotic places...

I did some interventions to the original recipe so as to add nutrients (such as carrot, a source of fiber and vitamins) but also to turn it into a real healthy meal. But if you want to play a little, you can make it as spicy as you want. I 'll show you how. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients
  • 1 chicken breast (boneless, skinless,cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 carrot (large, peeled, cut into rounds)
  • 1 tbsp curry (yellow)
  • 1 tbsp coconut cream
  • 1/2 chicken stock (optional)
  • chili paste (sambal oelek) (optional)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cup jasmine rice
  • salt
Instructions
  1. 1

    Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Heat some oil in a nonstick pot, then briefly saute the chicken over high heat until it is lightly browned. In the meantime, add also the carrots.

  2. 2

    Add water so as to cover the chicken. Add curry and the chicken stock (or simply salt) and stir. 

  3. 3

    Allow to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add some extra water if needed.

  4. 4

    At about 45 minutes (when chicken is almost tender), add the coconut cream and stir with a spoon until it completely dissolves in sauce. Season to taste.

  5. 5

    Simmer until the sauce thickens (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat.

  6. 6

    In the meantime, prepare the rice according to instructions.

    My instructions for basmati or jasmine rice: Heat 2 parts of salted water to boil. Add 1 part rice, stir and let it boil on low heat with the lid closed for about 20 minutes until it absorbs all the water. Allow 5 minutes to rest and serve.
  7. 7

    Serve chicken with rice. To make it spicy, pour over Sambal Oelek.

    Start with a very small amount of Sambal Oelek; you can always add more...
Notes
  • You can also use any type of vegetable oil i.e. sunflower oil.
  • Basmati rice is also delicious.
  • Chicken thighs are also super!
  • I mostly use M&S Coconut cream.
