Chicken curry

I have a family of 4 and 1 large chicken breast and 1 cup of uncooked basmati rice is perfect for us with enough for my husband to take to work the next day. And this recipe is a cinch and fast! I'm sure it freezes great too for future meals.

Olive oil
1-2 chicken breasts, seasoned with salt
3 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger
1/2 large onion
2 chicken bullion cubes
2 cups water
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 tbsp corn starch with 2 tbsp cold water
Basmati rice
Sweetened coconut

Start cooking the basmati rice, it takes about 20 mins to cook.

Pour 1 tbsp olive oil in pan. Add in onions. once translucent add in ginger and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Add in curry powder, cook about a minute or two, add in water and bouillon cubes, then sliced raw chicken (this way the chicken can absorb the seasonings). Allow to boil for about 5 minutes until chicken is cooked. Combine corn starch with 2 tbsp water then mix it in to the chicken curry.

Dish up rice, top with chicken curry mixture, and sprinkle on the coconut (the coconut is what REALLY makes this dish awesome and basmati rice is an absolute necessity!).


Ooh, and I now have the nutrition information too! If you use one 8 oz chicken breast and follow the above ingredients exactly without adding any fats to the rice while cooking, 3/4 cup of rice with 1/2 cup of chicken curry and 2 tbsp sweetened coconut = 358 calories! And because of the intense flavor of this meal you don't really realize that it is such a low calorie option.
