Chicken curry is delicious and easy to make. I throw a little yogurt in for a tad creaminess, but that’s optional, and it’ll be tasty either way. Chicken Curry is one of the most popular dishes in the world, and for good reason.

How to make Chicken Curry
Use 2 lbs of skinless, boneless chicken. You can use dark or light meat as you prefer. For this recipe, I like to cut the meat into approx. 1″ pieces and then season generously with salt, cumin, coriander, and chili powder.
Heat oil in a skillet on med. high heat and add seasoned chicken pieces. Sear chicken 5-7 minutes, turning once, and then remove chicken to a plate. Pour off excess fluid in the skillet and add butter. Add finely chopped garlic and hot pepper. Saute for 30 seconds and then add onion. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes.
When onions begin to soften, add turmeric, chili powder, coriander, and cumin. Mix well and continue cooking 2 minutes. Stir in crushed tomato. Add salt and a little water, if needed (but not too much water at one time–you don’t want the dish to be too wet). Allow the sauce to come to a bubble, reduce the heat, cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, return chicken to the skillet. Mix in Garam Masala, which is a blend of flavors (clove, cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, etc.). You can also spoon in a little plain yogurt, if you like–if I have some yogurt on hand I add it, and if I don’t, I don’t–it’s tasty either way (but yogurt adds a nice touch of creaminess). Add Fresh chopped cilantro and stir well.
And that’s it.
Serve the curry over rice with a little flat bread and you’ve got a delicious Indian-style entree. Give this chicken curry recipe a try and let me know what you think…and bon appétit!
