This recipe offers a quick and delicious chicken curry paired with spiced rice, perfect for a satisfying meal.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Cut the onion into even pieces for consistent cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the skillet.
Ensure the chicken is evenly cooked by stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the curry powder, chili powder, and red pepper flakes over the chicken, stirring to coat.
Toast the spices briefly for enhanced flavor.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate all flavors.
In a separate saucepan, cook the rice using the spiced chicken stock.
Use a tight-fitting lid to ensure the rice cooks evenly.
Combine the cooked rice with the chicken mixture in the skillet, stirring to combine.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the rice absorbs the flavors.
Serve the chicken curry and rice hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
A sprinkle of chopped cilantro adds a fresh touch.
