National Curried Chicken Day



Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: 1/2 cup rice and 3/4 cup chicken mixture)

Ingredients:

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
1 1/2 cups vertically sliced onion
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 cup canned light coconut milk
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. peppercorns, crushed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or basil
2 cups hot cooked brown rice


Directions:

1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add chicken to pan; cook, stirring frequently, 5 to 6 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned and almost cooked through. Remove chicken from pan.

2. 
Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion; cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add ginger and garlic; cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add curry powder; cook 15 to 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring constantly. Stir in coconut milk, lime juice, and crushed peppercorns.  Cover, and cook over medium-low until sauce is slightly thickened and chicken is done about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro or basil. Serve over rice.
