This recipe is perfect for those who enjoy bold flavors and a touch of heat in their meals. Our version includes wholesome ingredients like sweet potatoes and green beans, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes.
- Trim and cut the green beans into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the 1/3 cup of curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to become fragrant.
- Return the browned chicken to the pot.
- Add the cup of chicken gravy, the can of canned tomatoes with their juice, and the diced sweet potatoes.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in the green beans and simmer uncovered for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over steamed rice or with naan bread.
Tips:
- For richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt and a few teaspoons of curry paste for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier curry, add a chopped chili or a teaspoon of chili powder when you sauté the onions.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into smaller chunks to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the curry.
- Use fresh tomatoes instead of canned for a fresher taste; just make sure to peel and chop them finely.
- Add a splash of coconut milk at the end of cooking for a creamier texture and a hint of sweetness.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving for an extra zesty kick.
Your Indian Chicken Curry is now ready to be enjoyed! This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or warm naan bread. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful curry, and fresh vegetables makes for a comforting, hearty meal that’s sure to impress both family and guests alike.
