It's months like this when one pot meals that can be prepared in under 30 minutes really come in handy. Last week the Wisconsin Test Kitchen made a pot of "Chicken Curry in a Hurry"- and it was the perfect meal for a cold, snowy night.
Chicken Curry in a Hurry
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 tsp. red curry paste
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 Tbsp. fish sauce (optional)
- ⅓ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red pepper thinly sliced
- 2-3 medium sized carrots, thinly sliced into matchsticks
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Sriracha for serving (optional)
- 1 small can bamboo shoots
Instructions
1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stir curry paste into the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Add chicken, fish sauce, chicken broth, bamboo shoots and vegetables. Simmer, covered for 10 minutes.
3. Stir in fresh cilantro.
4. Serve over rice or noodles.
5. (Optional: top with Sriracha and more fresh cilantro)

Final verdict? As good as take-out curry; and it was ready much faster than waiting for the delivery guy to show up. If you're craving curry (like a certain member of the Wisconsin Test Kitchen constantly seems to be...); this is the perfect recipe. You can modify it to include any vegetables you like... Rebecca is obsessed with a red curry at a restaurant that serves it with red peppers and carrots- hence our ingredients. But leeks, green peppers or even mushrooms would be an excellent addition. For our vegetarian and vegan fans, this recipe could easily be modified (omit the fish sauce, and replace the chicken with tofu chunks).
What one-dish meals do your families rely on during busy weeks? We'd love to hear from you!
