Description

This unique microwave chicken curry offers a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner solution. Tender chicken pieces are braised in a rich, aromatic sauce infused with curry powder, turmeric, ginger, and allspice. The addition of tart apples and green peas provides a subtle sweetness and fresh crunch that balances the warm spices perfectly. Thinly sliced onions and green peppers soften into the sauce, creating a hearty texture without the need for long stovetop simmering. It is an easy, one-dish meal that delivers complex Indian-inspired flavors in a fraction of the time. Serve it hot over steamed rice or with warm naan bread for a satisfying, home-cooked experience that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and crush 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground ginger powder, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 tablespoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  3. Cut a 1 medium broiler-fryer chicken into 8 pieces.
  4. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken pieces with your hands.
  5. Peel and thinly slice 2 large tomatoes.
  6. Dice 1 medium green pepper and thinly slice 2 large onions.
  7. In a deep, 3-quart, heat-resistant, non-metallic casserole, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
  8. Add the diced green pepper, sliced onions, and crushed garlic to the oil.
  9. Microwave uncovered for 2 1/2 minutes, or until the onions and peppers are tender.
  10. Add the seasoned chicken, sliced tomatoes, and 1 cup of chicken stock (or bouillon dissolved in hot water) to the vegetable mixture.
  11. Cover the dish and microwave for 10 minutes.
  12. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped tart apple, 1 cup green peas, and the remaining 1 cup of chicken stock.
  13. Cover and microwave for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  14. Microwave for 3 more minutes if needed to ensure the peas are heated through.
  15. Serve hot over steamed rice.
