Instructions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Add onions. Cook and stir until lightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes.

Notes

How to Store & Re-Heat
To store: Let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.
To reheat: You can use a microwave or stovetop. If using a microwave, transfer the curry to a microwave-safe container and heat it on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Stir occasionally. If using the stovetop, transfer the curry to a saucepan and heat it over medium heat, occasionally stirring until heated. If the curry is too thick, add a little chicken stock or water to thin it out. Ensure the chicken curry reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
Make-Ahead
This recipe can be made ahead of time in various ways. You can cook the chicken and sauce ahead of time and store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. This will save you time and allow you to assemble the dish quickly when ready to serve.
You can also prep the ingredients by chopping the onions, garlic, ginger, and vegetables and storing them in separate containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Finally, consider making a double batch of Chicken Curry to have leftovers for meal prep or packed lunches throughout the week.
How to Freeze
Freezing Chicken Curry is a great way to save leftovers or make a big batch ahead of time. To freeze this meal, let it cool down to room temperature. Once it has cooled, transfer the curry to an airtight container or freezer bag. Make sure to label the container with the name and date of the dish. Then, freeze the container or bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight when you're ready to eat it.
You can reheat it in a skillet or microwave until hot and bubbly, stirring occasionally. It's important to ensure the curry has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving. If you're freezing a large batch, consider dividing it into smaller portions for easier thawing and reheating.
