Spicy Chicken Curry Recipe with Minute® Rice

Sep 2, 2021 by JCP

Hey, y’all! I love visiting our local Indian restaurants here in Louisville; their dishes are complex and feature so many layers of flavor. After many orders of spicy chicken curry, I decided I wanted to learn how to make it on my own. The result? My newest recipe: Spicy Chicken Curry, which pairs perfectly with Minute® Jasmine Rice! I know you’re going to love it—and you’ll be surprised by how approachable of a recipe that it is!

About Minute® Rice

Minute Rice at Kroger

My favorite accompaniment to my Spicy Chicken Curry—and to many of my recipes—is Minute Rice. Why? It’s the perfect solution for quick meals. Making rice in the traditional way is a daunting task, as it takes so long. Minute Rice delivers the same delicious quality rice in a fraction of the time (5 minutes!). Without worrying about rice preparation, we all can get the most out of our mealtime. This versatility in my cooking is very much appreciated for my fast-paced lifestyle.

You’ll see the Minute Jasmine Rice 12 oz box featured in this recipe, though Minute boasts a wide array of varieties (jasmine, white, yellow, brown, multi-grain + many more). I picked mine up at my local Kroger!

Recipe FAQ

What equipment do I need for this recipe?

For ease, I start cooking my chicken and onions in a large skillet and then add all ingredients into a slow cooker. I find this to be the easiest way!

After the chicken is done cooking, there is oil on top in the slow cooker. What should I do with it?

You can either dip it out or stir it back in—completely up to you! I personally stir it back in.

This recipe calls for a lot of spices - do I need them all?

The art of making Indian food requires several spices. The spices set the foundation for the beautiful, complex flavor profiles. I recommend using them all (you will have several in your pantry already) + purchasing the others, as you'll want to remake this recipe over and over! 

Can I make the curry thicker?

You absolutely can! Simply stir in a mixture of cornstarch + water (a 1:2 ratio of cornstarch to water).

This recipe makes a large portion, can I make it smaller?

Absolutely! As I know many of us are on-the-go, I made this recipe larger on purpose. This portion size is perfect for meal prepping/leftovers! That said, if you don't want to make a portion this large, simply cut all ingredients by the same proportion. It would be easiest to cut it in half!
