Curried Chicken and Brown Rice



Found this here. Easy. Quick (especially if you have the rice cooked beforehand). Good flavor. Could easily be made a vegetarian dish by omitting chicken and/or adding beans, perhaps.

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (8 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (or two large fresh, chopped)
  • 3/4 cup quick-cooking brown rice (I used regular brown rice that I had in the fridge)
  • 1/2 cup raisins (golden work really well)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)
  • 3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a skillet, stir together water, stewed tomatoes, brown rice, raisins, lemon juice, curry powder, bouillon, ground cinnamon, salt, garlic, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; then stir in chicken. Transfer mixture to a casserole dish.
  3. Cover, and bake in the preheated oven 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and chicken juices run clear.
