Chicken Curry

This week's recipe is chicken curry. A friend made this for me last week, and it was so good I had to share it. Don't let the long list of ingredients intimidate you, it is actually really easy to make.
I recommend having a specific cutting board in your kitchen designated for meat to prevent any illness from raw chicken. Here are some cheap cutting boards from Amazon for beef, chicken and veggies.

What you will need for this recipe:
2 chicken breasts
2 yellow onions
2 oz shitake mushrooms (roughly 8 mushrooms)
2 scallions
4 garlic cloves
14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chicken stock
5 tablespoons coconut milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. Cut chicken into cubes
2. Dice onions and scallions
3. Finely chop mushrooms
4. Finely mince garlic
5. Melt butter in a pan on medium high heat
6. Saute onions and mushrooms for 3 minutes
7. Add salt and garlic and saute for another minute
8. Add chicken, curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, and cayenne, and saute for 5 minutes
9. Add tomotoes and chicken stock, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes
10. Add coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes
11. Stir in scallions and serve (serves 2)

                                                                                                                                                                 

This dish is best served over rice. I prefer Jasmine rice, but cook your favorite rice according to the instructions on the bag. Although this recipe has many ingredients, most of them are just spices, so it is easier than it seems at first glance.

Enjoy!
