Chicken Curry in a Hurry

Source: Real Simple

Servings: 4
Total Time: 20 minutes if chicken is already cut, longer if you have to cut chicken


Ingredients
1 cup white rice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained (optional)
2 cups meat from rotisserie chicken, sliced or shredded
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

Directions
1. Cook the rice according to the package directions.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes.
3. Sprinkle with the curry powder and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
4. Add the yogurt and cream and simmer gently for 3 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, and tomatoes (if desired). Remove from heat.
5. Divide the rice and chicken among individual bowls, spoon the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the cilantro.

Verdict
This was really good and super easy. Allison didn't care much for it but she's getting pickier these days, and anything remotely spicey she doesn't go for. This wasn't too spicey for us.
