Instructions

Cook the rice

  • Cook the rice in salted water according to the package directions. Skip to the next step if you are using cooked rice.

Prepare the chicken curry

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the diced chicken and stir-fry until it's cooked through. Remove from the skill and set aside for later.
  • In the same skillet where you cooked the chicken, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until golden, then add the sliced red pepper and continue cooking until tender.
  • When all vegetables are ready, add the curry powder, salt and pepper to taste, and give it a stir to infuse the foods with flavors.
    Pour in the coconut milk and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes (about two to five minutes). Add the chicken and cook for a few minutes more. When the curry is ready, remove from the heat, stir in the Greek yogurt and adjust with salt and pepper to your likings.
  • Serve with cooked rice and enjoy!
