    You know dinner was extra good when you wake up the next morning craving a bowl! You know that happens, don’t act surprised lol! Some meals are just THAT good, and this is one of them! Robust flavors, wonderful textures, delectable ingredients that marry so well you’ll be craving it more often than you imagine!


    What Makes a Good Chicken Curry Dish?

    For starters, making your own curry paste at home is definitely on the top of the list. Nothing beats homemade sauces, especially when it comes to an authentic curry paste or sauce.

    You more than likely already have the ingredients in your pantry and fridge, if not, make a quick trip to your local grocery store. Or, place a quick order online for pickup or delivery!

    Unless you’re really craving it and have very little prep time, don’t skimp on making the curry sauce on your own. Store-bought curry paste won’t give your dish the edge it needs.


    Another important trick for a great-tasting curry dish is the freshness and variety of the ingredients. This particular dish calls for plenty of veggies, so the fresher they are they better their flavors will accentuate the chicken and the sauce.

    Also, the variety in veggies and spices and ensuring the combinations of both marry well together does wonders for leveling up flavor! Using just the right amounts of garlic and ginger is essential to the balance of flavors in this dish, as is the curry spice.

    You don’t want one thing overpowering everything else and that’s easy if you don’t measure out or get carried away with the spices!

    Finally, searing your chicken just right helps trap juices of the chicken for added flavors. You can opt for marinating your chicken ahead of time in a bit of the same spices like ginger, garlic, and curry.

    When you sear the cubed marinated chicken, you’ll be trapping those juices and flavors in, therefore adding an extra kick of flavor to your dish!


    Want a Vegan Version?

    You can definitely make this chicken curry with vegetables dish vegan with these two swaps! Replace milk with coconut milk and chicken with tofu. For the tofu, cube into bite size pieces then sauté’ on each side and set aside.

    Add the tofu right before you begin to simmer the stew. If you’d like some depth of flavor you can add an extra vegetable bouillon cube. You’ll get all the full-bodied flavors of the original dish but in vegan form!

    A meal everyone at home will love!

    Ingredients

    • chicken breast
    • avocado oil
    • potatoes 
    • onion 
    • carrots 
    • peppers 
    • peas
    • mushrooms 
    • water
    • milk or coconut milk, almond milk or oat milk
    • garlic and ginger paste
    • bouillon cubes (optional)
    • flour
    • curry spice

    Tips for Chicken Curry with Vegetables:

    • Use any vegetables of your liking! My recipe calls for vegetables that my family and I enjoy but you can others like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, or string beans.
    • If you can’t make the curry paste/sauce, then go ahead and get a store-bought jar and use it. Store-bough curry is better than none at all!
    • Going for extra spicy flavors, you can add a little extra zing by adding more ginger or garlic, using a spicy curry mix, or adding jalapenos to the dish. You can also simply add some red chili flakes or cayenne pepper on your dish before eating!
    • Always go for the freshest vegetables and ingredients for enhanced flavors!
    • Want a thicker and more dense broth? Use chicken thighs or any piece of chicken still on the bones! The bone will give the broth a ton more flavor and more hearty feel.
    • If you choose to marinate your chicken, you can use similar spices from the curry sauce or you can give it more zest and marinate in some lemon juice!
    • Serve the final product over a bed of rice: jasmine, basmati, or rice of choice. You can also serve a side salad along with it!
    • Garnish with fresh cilantro, parsley, or shallots!
