List of Ingredients
- salt
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 2 T butter
- 1 T vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sliced onion
- 3/4 tsp chopped garlic
- 3/4 tsp chopped fresh ginger
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces (about 2 lbs)
- 2 T yellow curry paste (recommended brand: A Taste of Thai)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- salt
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro, or to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts lightly salted to a boil over high heat, covered.
- Add the jasmine rice and stir. Reduce the heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender but still firm. Drain the rice in a colander, return it to the pan, and keep warm, covered, while you make the curried chicken.
- In a medium skillet, heat the 2 T butter and 1 T oil over moderately high heat. Add the 1/4 cup sliced onion, 3/4 tsp chopped garlic, and 3/4 tsp chopped ginger. Saute, stirring, for 2 minutes, until the onion is softened.
- Add the 2 lbs chicken pieces, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the 2 T yellow curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken pieces are well coated with the paste.
- Add the 1 cup chicken broth and 1/2 cup coconut milk to the skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook gently for 8 to 10 minutes. While the chicken cooks, mince enough cilantro to measure 1/4 cup.
- Adjust the salt to taste, transfer the curry to a shallow serving dish, and sprinkle with the 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and put it in a serving bowl.
