Green Apple Curry With Garlic Butter Rice Food

GREEN APPLE CURRY WITH GARLIC BUTTER RICE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400. Add chicken, cubed apples, and onion to a dutch oven or large baking dish. Coat ingredients with olive oil and add all seasonings coating the chicken, apples and onions evenly
• 2. Bake at 400 for 45 minutes
• 3. Remove chicken pieces and place in a skillet to brown on medium/high heat for about 6 minutes.
• 4. While the chicken is browning prepare your rice as directed. Add the melted butter and sauteed garlic before allowing the rice to rest. You may also want to add some curry powder to tie the flavor in.
• 5. Add 1/2 cup coconut milk to the onion and apple mixture. Add more or less seasoning to taste and cook over medium/heat until the coconut milk is heated through.(Sauce does not need to be thickened unless you prefer it that way)
• 6. Return the chicken pieces to the curry sauce and serve over rice! I usually serve this alone or with fried plantain or black beans.
• 7. If you choose not to use the coconut milk, you can keep the apple/onion curry on low heat until the chicken browns or brown it right in the dutch oven on the stovetop.

GARLIC BUTTER RICE

Steps:

• Melt the butter or margarine in a 10" skillet over med-high heat.
• Add the rice and stir.
• Add the bouillon cube(s) and stir until softened or dissolved.
• I use a spoon and break the bouillon cube(s) apart while it is dissolving so that it dissolves faster.
• Watch closely so that the rice does not start to brown.
• You might need to lower the heat if the rice starts to brown or appears to be cooking too fast.
• Add the water and stir.
• Cover with a lid and bring it to a boil.
• Lower the heat to med to med-low and cook for 10 minutes or until rice is almost tender and a lot, but not all, of the water/butter mixture has been absorbed.
• This comes out better if it is "slow cooked".
• Add the garlic and stir.
• Put the lid back on the skillet and continue cooking for 5 more minutes or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
• There may still be some melted butter at the bottom of the skillet, but that is okay.
• Stir well and turn the burner off.
• Let the skillet sit on the burner until you are ready to serve the rice.
