Baked Chicken Curry with Rice image

This healthy, from-scratch baked chicken casserole is packed with Indian curry flavor, and is very easy to make! Marinating the chicken in yogurt makes it fall-off-the-bone tender, but it can be skipped if you are really pressed for time.

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups Greek yogurt, divided
2 tablespoons curry powder, divided
2 cloves garlic, crushed, divided
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
1 pound bone-in chicken breast halves
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup basmati rice
½ cup sliced green onions
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
1 chile pepper, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 clove crushed garlic, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a large freezer bag. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine remaining 1 cup yogurt and chicken broth in a large bowl; mix well until smooth. Add basmati rice, green onions, tomato, chile pepper, 1 clove garlic, 1 tablespoon curry powder, ginger, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Pour rice mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and place marinated chicken on top. Discard excess marinade. Cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking until chicken has browned and is no longer pink in the centers and rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Fluff rice with a fork, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve.
