Curious About Curry?

Try this delicious, Indian-inspired recipe tonight! With just a few ingredients, convert simple chicken and rice into a flavorful, delicious chicken curry in less than 30 minutes.

This is a great option for weekly meal prep. Simply make the curry mixture and separate it into 4 portions. Our Success® Boil-in-Bag Rice makes it easy to prepare rice when you need it. Mix the rice in with the curry mixture when ready to eat and you have a tasty, perfect lunch for the office, school or even at home. Serve this curry as a rice bowl or plate it along with a side of vegetables.

The aromatic flavor of basmati rice is quite common for Indian dishes, however it can easily be swapped out for white rice if that’s what you have on hand. Use brown rice if you’re looking to add more whole grains into your diet.

Pro Tip

To get the most flavor out of each ingredient, first add the onion and garlic with the chicken and sauté until they turn translucent. Next, add in the curry and stir until everything is coated. Lastly, add in the tomatoes, stir and let everything simmer for 10 minutes.
