I found this recipe in real simple magazine, and I revised it just a bit; here is my revised version. (It's delicious.)
Chicken Curry
serves 8
4 Tbs. olive oil
2 small yellow onions, very thinly sliced
4 tsp. curry powder
1 c. plain yogurt
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
2.5 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbs. lemon pepper
4 c. cooked white rice
1/2 c. fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
1. Preheat oven to broil setting. Brush chicken breasts with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil, and season with lemon pepper. Broil for 5 minutes on each side, or just until done.
2. Remove chicken breasts from oven, cut into small cubes and set aside.
3. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. Sprinkle with curry powder and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the yogurt and cream, and simmer gently for 3 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper and tomatoes. Remove from heat.
4. Divide the rice into bowls. Top with chicken, spoon onion-curry sauce over top, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
*Notes: The original recipe called for 2 rotisserie chickens, deboned and cut into small pieces. (To save cooking time.) However, I don't like how fatty the rotisserie chickens are, and I like the lemon pepper flavor with the curry. I think you can buy lemon-pepper rotisserie chickens. I just preferred to use chicken breasts.
...it does seem silly to complain about fat in a recipe that calls for heavy cream and olive oil...LOL...but I really hate chicken fat.
