Equipment

1 cutting board
1 sharp knife
1 Frying Pan
1 stove top

Ingredients

1 Tbs vegetable oil
2 lb boneless skinless chicken cut into 1/2 inch pieces, thighs preferred, breast or tenderloin will work
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cups cooked white rice
15 oz Patak Korma Sauce 1 jar
1 cup cherry tomatoes optional, cut in half
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a 10" skillet, heat 1 Tbs vegetable oil over medium high heat until oil is shimmery.
Add the chicken pieces all at once and brown until the meat is no longer pink. Add the onion and garlic powder when browning the chicken.
While the chicken is cooking prepare the rice.
Add the sauce from the jar and the cherry tomatoes if you are using these. Rinse the jar with a few Tbs of water and shake well to remove any remaining sauce. Add this to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
Simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the sauce over the rice and top with the fresh cilantro.

Notes

Use the cut of chicken you prefer most, but we really enjoy the boneless skinless thighs because they are so forgiving if you over cook them. They stay moist without getting over dry and stringy.
For an added lovely kick, add a cup of cherry tomatoes cut in half and simmer for 15 minutes (add when you add the chicken).
You can also add peas or green beans or carrots (or all three) for some beautiful color, flavor and nutrients to your dish.
My family likes to add a dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt to the top.
A handful of cilantro adds a ton of great flavor.
A quick easy way to sneak some vegetables into your families meal is to add some mixed frozen vegetables to this dish when you add the chicken and then simmer for 15 minutes.
Makes a terrific left over and somehow tastes even better on day 2 and 3!

SUBSTITUIONS

Chicken - If chicken isn't your thing, no worries! You can use several substitutes here. Vegetables, turkey, Shrimp or Tofu also works but you may need to adjust your simmer time.

Patak Korma Sauce - Technically, you really need the sauce to make the whole thing work.

Rice - You could get creative and serve this over a baked potato or even wide noodles and it would still be delicious even if it wasn't traditional.
