Curried Chicken with Peas
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos | 5 Comments
Long day today. I snuck in a yoga class before coming home from work and let the husband and child fend for themselves. Translation: fast food. :)
For me, I pulled out a chicken breast this morning so it would be defrosted when I got home from work. I had no idea what I was going to do with it but I knew it was better then coming home to nothing.
Thankfully this idea popped into my head on the drive home. I had curry. I had yogurt. I had peas. So why not? :) It was tasty, spicy, satisfying and totally something I could not get away with for the family but I knew I’d love it. And I did. 
- 1-2 slices of onion chopped
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into pieces
- Kosher Salt & Pepper
- 1 tsp red curry Powder
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp coriander powder
- 1/8 tsp ground red pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt
- 1 cup frozen peas
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and brown the chicken with the onion. Sprinkle with the spices. If you only have curry, that will work. I just happen to have the others on hand.
Once the chicken is brown and almost cooked thru, lower the heat to medium-low and add the yogurt. You don’t want to boil the yogurt it just bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes while stirring and coating the chicken. Then add the frozen peas. Cook until the peas are warmed thru.

odd question, but do you defrost your chicken: in the refrigerator or on the counter?
Unrelated: bought some ground turkey tonight to get ready to make turkey burgers from your recipe. Can’t wait!
Oh man – perfect! I’m always looking for good single serving recipes since I live alone, and this one looks like something I definitely need to try.
Hi Roni,
I made this today and it tasted great. The only problem was when i added the yogurt it immediately clogged and made it look yukky! do you have any tips on how to avoid this. I did let the pan cool down a bit before adding the yogurt.
Shandy – I’m a counter defroster. As soon as it’s just about thaw I put it in the fridge. If I know I’m not going to be around to pop it in the fridge I use the cold water method (soaking it in the sink.)
Leila – Constant stirring. I think it also depends on the yogurt you are using. I noticed let separation from greek style.
