Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into cubes
  • 1 large sweet pepper, cut into cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1.5 cups white rice (jasmine or basmati)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix curry powder, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture onto the chicken thighs.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large high-walled skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté diced onion, carrots, and sweet pepper until tender. Add minced garlic and red curry paste; cook for an additional minute.
  4. Add the rice to the mixture and toast it for about 1–2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to low.
  6. Simmer for about 10–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (165°F) and rice is tender.
  7. Stir in coconut milk before serving.
