Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs cubed
- 1 medium yellow onion sliced
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 medium carrot peeled and cut into chunks
- ½ apple peeled and cubed
- 2 medium potato peeled and cubed
- 4 cups chicken broth or water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 (3.2 oz) Japanese curry sauce mix box
Instructions
- Sauté the Chicken: Heat a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and sauté the cubed chicken thighs for 1-2 minutes, on each side, until they start to brown.
- Cook Aromatics: Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add Vegetables and Simmer: Add the carrots, apple, chicken broth (or water), soy sauce, and honey to the pot. Stir well, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and add the potatoes, stirring to combine. Re-cover and continue simmering for an additional 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are fork-tender.
- Skim the Fat: Use a spoon to skim off any fat or impurities that rise to the surface during cooking.
- Mix in the Curry Roux: Break the curry roux cubes into smaller pieces and add them to the pot. Stir until completely dissolved and the curry has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Serve: Once the curry is thick and the vegetables are tender, remove from heat. Serve hot over steamed rice.
