Easy Skillet Dinners

Skillet Dinners Curry Chicken with rice, carrots and peppers

Dinners are easy when you cook everything in a skillet.

First, I pan seared the chicken breasts and then added curry powder to simmer a nice slow cook with the peppers. Once that was in a nice juicy state, I added water before tossing in the jasmine rice and carrots. For a little color contrast I sprinkled in a few wild rice grains. When you cook rice this way it takes a little longer but the juices get soaked up into the grains and give it a robust flavor. Add enough water to keep some of the curry sauce in its liquid state. I also break the chicken up a bit with a fork about half way through to let the juices in through the seared top.  What you get is deliciously tender chicken and perfectly cooked rice and veggies. Serve either on a plate or in a bowl depending on your preference.
