Cook Time

Cook time for this recipe is approximately 45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups long-grain rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 can peas, drained and rinsed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Large pot
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the coconut milk, curry powder, allspice, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add the chicken back to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring the rice and water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
  6. Add the kidney beans and peas to the rice and stir to combine.
  7. Serve the chicken curry over the rice and peas.

Notes

  • You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts if you prefer.
  • You can add more or less curry powder to the sauce depending on your taste preferences.
  • You can use any type of beans you like in the rice and peas.
