    Instructions

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
    • 1 cup basmati rice
    • 2 cups water
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 lb chicken breast tenderloins
    • 1 lb steak-topper vegetables (sliced fresh mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers)
    • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
    • 2 oz cream cheese
    • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
    • 1 teaspoon curry powder
    • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
    • ⅓ bunch fresh cilantro
    • ⅓ cup sliced green onions

    Steps

      1. Preheat 4-quart saucepan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add rice; cook and stir 1 minute. Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover; simmer 18–20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
      2. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Cut chicken into halves or thirds, if desired (wash hands). Place remaining 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add chicken; cook 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, or until browned. Remove chicken from pan. Add vegetables to same pan; cook and stir 5 minutes.
      3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in tomatoes, cream cheese, coriander, curry powder, and red pepper, then add chicken and cover; simmer 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until chicken is 165°F. Chop cilantro.
      4. Stir cilantro and green onions into pan. Fluff rice with fork. Serve chicken and sauce over rice.
