15-Minute Indian Curry with Chicken and Peas image

This one-pan dinner comes together faster than it would take for Indian take-out to get to your door. Chicken tenders need only a few minutes to cook in a flavorful sauce spiced with garam masala and curry powder. We serve it with store-bought naan, but it would be just as delicious served over fragrant basmati rice.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small yellow onion
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 pound chicken tenders
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
4 pieces naan bread, warmed

Steps:

  • Place a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan heats up, finely chop the onion, about 1 heaping cup. Add the canola oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, finely grate the garlic into the tomato paste and add to the onions along with the curry powder, garam masala and 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a strong simmer. Cut the chicken tenders in half crosswise, sprinkle liberally with salt and stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to a low simmer and stir in the peas and 1/4 cup yogurt. Cook until the peas are just warmed through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Divide among 4 bowls. Top each with the remaining yogurt and serve with warm naan bread.
