Chicken Curry Fried Rice

By Silvermama

I use left over grilled cilantro chicken for this recipe. You can also use a store bought cooked chicken if you need a quick meal. The fresh cilantro is a must.

Ingredients

• 3 tbs veg oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 small onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice; clumps broken up
• 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
• 3 tbs soy sauce
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (can use rotisserie)
• 1 scallion thinly sliced, white and green parts
• 4 tbs fresh cilantro leaves (or 2 tsp dried)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in large skillet over hi heat. When quite hot, saute garlic and stir-fry until slight golden, about 5 seconds. Add ginger and onion and saute until onion is softened, 3-4 min. Stir in curry powder, chili powder and coriander. Add rice and raisins blending well. Stir in soy sauce and chicken blending well. Add scallion and cilantro. Stir fry for another 30 seconds.

Can also add other ingredients to taste, i.e., sliced almonds, pineapple, water chestnuts, etc.
