Another winner. Super easy. Black Pepper Chicken Curry. I added green beans for

You'll like this one Angie...I took someone to that Indian restaurant we went to.

She had only tried Indian food once and said she didn't like curry so didn't know what to get. So I ordered her the butter chicken...which she LOVED. Then I told her it WAS a curry and explained the variety of curries to her. She left with a new outlook and love of Indian food smileys/smile.gif

 
Sounds scrumptious. One question though

I'm not crazy over thigh meat; how would you advise cooking this with boneless breasts?

Thanks!

 
I am interested in her answer, I think I'd cook the breasts for less time after adding the

1/4 cup coconut milk and water, maybe 12-15 minutes instead of 20, checking for doneness after 12. Then proceed with the rest of the recipe as written. It looks delicious and I love the idea of adding green beans, I assume they were already blanched?

 
I think it would be important to buy boneless fresh breast--not frozen. And I agree with the

shorter cooking/finishing time. I think it would be just fine.

 
Made this last night. DW and I loved it. I used pork loin since I didn't have chicken. So...

...I sliced it across the grain, very thin. It was still a bit chewy, but not off-putting by any means.

I also added a ton of chopped baby bok choy. It released a bunch of liquid (as usual), so I simmered with the lid off in order to reduce the liquid a bit. Worked like a charm.

I will try chicken breasts next time, as I am not a fan of chicken thighs. (Too much trimming and knorple.) In order to assure tenderness, I'm thinking of adding a few tablespoons of cornstarch to the spices and tossing the chicken in that. It works great in other soups, so why not here?

Lol, I googled knorple, all I got was in a language I don't understand. I'm thinking it is probably

what I object to in dark meat.

 
Is it cornstarch that helps tenderness in chinese cooking or baking soda? Just wondering, from my

recollection. ;o)

 
Made it tonight....

Very tasty, although I made quite a few modifications, including the method of cooking - I used a pressure cooker

excellent recipe, Phil absolutely loved it!

at some point it will be on my blog, but it might take a looong time smileys/wink.gif

 
YES!!!! Made it just as printed (with a handful of peas thrown in) and it was FAB!

Next time I would add sliced cauliflower, potatoes...and less chicken. Also, would make half again as much sauce -- the sauce is the star here smileys/smile.gif
