Equipment
- 1 Pot
- 1 Skillet
- 1 chopping Board
- 1 Sharp Knife
- 1 set of measuring spoons and cups
Ingredients
- 1.1 pounds chicken breast cubed
- Salt pepper, oil for seasoning chicken
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 13.5 ounces creamy coconut milk canned, suitable for cooking
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- ⅔ teaspoon salt
- ⅕ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅕ teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- 2.5 ounces peanuts chopped
- 1¼ cups rice
- ½ teaspoon salt for rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Instructions
- Season cubed chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a little oil; set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until slightly caramelized.
- Add grated ginger to the onion, and continue frying for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil for the rice. Add ½ teaspoon salt and rice vinegar, then cook rice according to package instructions.
- Add chicken cubes to the skillet, spreading them out so they sear well. Cook without moving for about 5 minutes, then turn to cook evenly until done.
- Pour coconut milk over the chicken, add salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and curry powder. Stir well and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop peanuts using a food processor or by hand.
- Serve by placing cooked rice on half of a deep plate, pour the curry next to it. Sprinkle parsley over the curry and peanuts over the rice.
Notes
Use canned, creamy, high-fat coconut milk specifically labeled for cooking, which is typically thicker than beverage coconut milk.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper or chili powder based on your preference for heat.
