Preparation

What You Need

3 tbsp (45 ml) cornstarch
2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
2 cups (500 ml) Milk
1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken, cut into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) chunks
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp (5 ml) curry powder or
mild curry paste
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground ginger
4 cups (1 l) frozen chunky mixed vegetables
1 cup (250 ml) chopped fresh tomatoes or
drained canned tomatoes
1/2 cup (125 ml) plain yogurt
2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped roasted peanuts

Instructions

Whisk cornstarch and soy sauce into milk; set aside.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; add chicken, garlic, curry and ginger; cook, turning chicken once, for about 2 min or until chicken is lightly browned. Add vegetables; cover and cook for about 3 min or until vegetables are thawed.

Stir milk mixture and pour into pan; cook, stirring and scraping up bits stuck to pan, for about 5 to 10 min or until sauce is thickened and chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove from heat; stir in tomatoes.

Serve topped with yogurt and peanuts.


Tips

Cooking Tip: Heat the pan well before adding the butter to make sure the chicken browns for better flavour and texture.

For the Adventurous: Replace ground ginger with 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced fresh gingerroot, add 2 tsp (10 mL) minced fresh hot peppers, increase curry by 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 mL) and garnish with chopped fresh coriander.
