This chicken curry recipe is family-friendly and easy enough for a busy weeknight. Serve it with basmati rice and dinner is done!

In this family-friendly chicken curry dish, thinly sliced chicken breasts are sautéed with curry powder and simmered in an aromatic curry sauce thickened with Greek yogurt. You can have it on the table in 30 minutes — or in the time it takes to make some basmati rice — and the cooking method ensures that the chicken comes out reliably tender every time. As with many Indian dishes, the taste and spice level of this dish will vary a bit depending on the type of curry powder you use, so adjust the seasoning as necessary.

What you’ll need to make chicken curry

Step-By-Step Instructions

Begin by cutting the chicken into 1/4-inch slices. The best way is to cut each breast in half lengthwise, then slice on the diagonal. Don’t make yourself crazy over it, but try to make each piece about the same size; this ensures that they cook evenly. Next, season the chicken with salt, pepper and curry powder.

Heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet, then briefly sauté the chicken until it is lightly browned but still pink in spots.

Transfer the partially cooked chicken to a clean bowl, then add the onions to the pan and cook until soft and translucent.

Add the ginger, garlic, and more curry powder and sauté until fragrant.

Add the chicken stock and cornstarch to the vegetables.

Cook until the sauce is thickened, then add the chicken back to the pan, along with the frozen peas and simmer until the chicken is just cooked.

Add the Greek yogurt and fresh chopped cilantro.

Stir until combined.

Serve with basmati rice and/or naan.
