Curried Chicken & Coconut Rice Casserole

Sunday, March 17, 2019 21:02

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

My husband really loves a good curry. He likes them really spicy, but I like them moderately spicy. I like to taste my food rather than be distracted from the taste by a mouth that feels as if its on fire!

I really love chicken casseroles. All in one meals. No fuss, no muss.

This tasty dish combines all of my loves . . . a delicious chicken casserole, with a moderately spiced East Indian flavour . . . all in one, no fuss, and again no muss!

You begin by making a quick and easy sauce to help temper any spiciness from the curry. Its simply yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, some chopped fresh coriander or mint and some seasoning. Easy peasy.

I make it first and bang it into the refrigerator to chill and develop the flavours while I cook the casserole.

Once that is done you simply measure some rice, chopped carrot, coconut milk and boiling water into a casserole dish, cover tightly and then pop it into a hot oven to partially cook the rice . . . 25 to 30 minutes does it.

While the rice is cooking, you cook some garlic, oil and curry powder in the microwave for a short and then stir in some cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast meat . . .

At the end of 25 to 30 minutes, stir this mixture into the almost cooked rice along with some frozen peas. Cover it tightly and bang it back into the oven for a further 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken cooked through, perfectly.

Let it sit for 10 minutes and then stir . . .

Voila! Dinner is served. A drizzle of yogurt sauce and a sprinkling of spring onions along with some toasted flaked almonds complete the picture!

This is beautiful. Both the chicken and rice are cooked perfectly . . . the rice tender, the chicken still juicy and not dried out . . .

Not too spicy, not too bland . . . beautiful textures, flavours and colours. Todd squirted some Sriracha sauce on his because he wanted some heat. I enjoyed it just as it was.
