Chicken recipes: Curried Baked Chicken Breast Recipe
Published by Foong at 11:14 am under Asian Food, Fusion Food, Healthy food, Recipes |
This is one of my baked chicken breast recipes that is probably one of the easiest to prepare because it involves only three easy steps. Now, in my previous post on Chicken Recipes: Chicken Curry Kapitan, I mentioned that I used some of the curry paste from that dish to make this dish. So, do refer to that post for the curry recipe. Otherwise, you can always use any type of curry paste you have on hand, either a home made one or pre-packaged ones or even bottled ones. It doesn’t really matter.
To get the curried baked chicken breast, I rubbed some chili powder onto the chicken breast meat first before I add the curry paste. So, for sure, this dish is as hot and spicy as I wanted it to be! So, you see, baked chicken need not be bland or plain. It can be crunchy and now it can be spicy with curry flavours!
I am sure, by now, you must be wondering why I have so many baked chicken breast recipes in recent times. Well, lets just say I needed to revamp the way we eat and add in more healthy, wholesome and non-oily food. Baked chicken breast is probably one of the healthiest dishes I could think of as it has minimal oil and thus, less calories compared to frying. Also, it is easy to prepare. Just season, pop into the oven and it is ready to eat!
Now, lets get on with it….
Chicken recipes: Curried Baked Chicken Breast Recipe
Ingredients
150g chicken breast meat, cut into strips
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp sea salt
4 tbsp curry paste
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Clean the chicken, drain and pat dry. Cut into long, thin strips so that it cooks easily. Season the chicken with the salt and chili powder.
2. Rub the curry paste all over the chicken.
3. Place the chicken strips onto a tray covered by foil. Drizzle it with some olive oil and bake in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Then turn over and bake for another 10 minutes. It’s done when it looks like this:
To really test if it is done, just pick a larger piece and nudge the centre with a fork. If it is all white inside with clear juices, it is done. If there’s still a hint of pink, then pop it back into the oven and bake for a few more minutes. Just be careful you don’t over-cook it or else you’d get some really tough and hard chicken breast meat!
I’d say it goes great with some brown unpolished rice and green veg. However, how you like to eat it is entirely up to you as it can also be made into chicken salad or as a main dish with potatoes and salad as sides.
