Making a delicious chicken and vegetable curry is easier than you might think, and it doesn't require a lot of time or effort. Here's a simple recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 cups mixed vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and peas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add the onion to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using) and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan and add the mixed vegetables.
  8. Simmer the curry, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve the curry over rice or with naan bread.
