  • Total Time: 47 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
  • 3 tbsp Japanese curry powder (e.g., Golden Curry)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Chop all ingredients into bite-sized pieces: onion, carrots, and potatoes. Mince garlic and grate ginger.
  2. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions with garlic and ginger until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the carrots and potatoes. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Sprinkle in the curry powder while stirring continuously until everything is well-coated. Simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Serve the curry over rice or noodles, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For a thicker curry, let it simmer for a little longer without a lid to reduce the liquid. Feel free to add other vegetables or adjust the curry powder to suit your taste.
