Cooking Thursday

Do you like Chinese food?  One of the things I like is Chinese Curry Chicken, but it's not readily available around here.  I found a recipe for it that sounded good, but changed it a little so it would be more like the curry I've gotten in the past.  It was really quite quick and easy to make and was very good!  


Chinese Curry Chicken

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin flat slices
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon corn starch
3 tablespoons canola or olive oil
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 carrots, peeled and cut into thin slivers
1 green pepper, cut into slices
1 small onion, cut into slices
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 1/2 cups coconut milk (May also use regular white milk)
2 tablespoons corn starch
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Whisk together soy sauce with 1 tablespoon corn starch, then stir chicken into it and set aside.
Heat canola oil in heavy skillet, then stir in 1 tablespoon curry powder for about 5 seconds.  Add chicken with marinade and cook for about 3 minutes. 
Stir in carrots, green pepper and onion.  Cook for 4-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables begin to soften.
Whisk together the water and 2 tablespoons corn starch.
Heat milk in small saucepan until it just comes to a boil.  Use whisk to stir in the corn starch slurry and simmer until it thickens.  Whisk in the 1 teaspoon curry powder and salt.
Stir sauce into chicken and veggie mix.  Serve over rice.

Sounds interesting! I've never cooked with curry powder before, so I'm not sure if I would like it or not. I probably would...I'm just not used to it! But it looks good!!

This will definitely be on the menu at our house. I wonder if I can add some pineapple? I bet that would be good too. Thank you for the recipe, Mari. Love, Andrea xoxo

Both, Sam and myself love Chinese food. Happy to have this recipe to add to my collection. Curry is supposed to be very good for us..

This sounds so good to me but my hubby isn't fond of curry. Once in a while I slip it into my Chicken Divan dish (which I gobble up) but Dave eats it but doesn't really like it.
I guess I will have to continue to eat this type of dish when we go out for a Chinese meal. (:0)

It sounds great but because husband is such a fussy eater I would only make it if I am having my girl friends over.

I LOVE curry chicken with coconut milk. And our fave Asian place that made it so well isn't open anymore. :( So I've already copied this! Thanks for sharing my Lovely. xo

Michelle said...

I am going to try this. These type of dishes are great in summer, I think.

You know, I don't think I've ever had curry anything and don't even know what it tastes like. I will say that your recipe looks delicious! xoxo

Chris said...

Sounds like something I'd like, thank you.

Jean said...

Interesting! All the dishes I make that use curry powder are either Jamaican or Indian. This recipe sounds and looks really delicious! In my opinion, coconut milk is essential, not optional, haha!
