Super Easy Chicken Curry Recipe

Yo folks!

I haven't updated my blog in a while...I know my apologies.

Here's a really simple chicken curry recipe I perfected the first time I tried it. I got off a site that no longer exists so I thought I'd share it with you. This recipe is for beginners and those who don't want to buy a lot of ingredients or are afraid they won't know what to buy and how much of it because the modern grocery store bombards you with a plethora of variations of the same item. So first, I'll start with what you will need (these are all very easy to find!):

salt
turmeric
cumin
coriander
boneless/skinless chicken breast (they're usually four pieces in a package)
cream (like the kind you put in coffee)
1/4 curry paste
garlic (just one of those)
medium sized onion (about the size of 2 golf balls)
olive oil

...and that's it.

Cooking instructions:

1. So first we want to cut the onion, garlic, and chicken breast down to size. I suggest you whistle while you work, or have the radio on. This will make you feel like a pro. We want the onion to be chopped into little bits, little tiny ones. Prepare about a handful of those tiny pieces. We want to do the same with the garlic, except just use one clove (a single garlic is made up of 6 I believe). Leave these both aside for later. If you get 4 chicken breasts in the package you buy, cut them each in half, giving you 8 pieces. Put these aside.

2. Put a pan on the stove, light it up to medium heat. Put 3 tablespoons of olive oil into the pain and add the onions and let them simmer and squeal for a minute.

3. After the minute is up...add the chicken and torture it until is white on the outside. This is evidence that it is edible. This should take 5-6 mins.

4. After your chicken has become Caucasian, add the garlic and stir it with the chicken for 2-3 minutes. Everything in the pan should turn golden brown.

5. After the 2-3 mins are up, add the spices (tumeric, cumin, coriander) and a bit of salt if desired. Add about a quarter tablespoon of each except the cumin, add 1/2 a tbspn of that.

6. Stir (d'uh)

7. Remember that cream and curry paste that was on your ingredients list? Guess what, throw them in...they're not getting away that easy. Stir everything and you should see a delicious preparation of chicken curry from your own hand in less than 2 minutes.

BON APPETITE!

NOTE: You may wish to add salt to the cooked dish if desired.
