Instructies

• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, wash and dry all produce. • Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes. (TIP: If needed, add splashes of water to help pepper soften.) After 5 minutes, add scallion whites and cook until softened. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wash out pan.

• While bell pepper cooks, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Once bell pepper is done, heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Reduce heat under pan to medium.

• Add tomato paste, curry powder, and paprika to pan with chicken. Add a pinch of chili flakes if you like things spicy. • Cook, stirring, until chicken is fully coated and spices are fragrant, 1 minute.

• Stir in coconut milk, ¼ cup water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 TBSP butter, and a big pinch of salt. (For 4 servings, use 1⁄3 cup water, 2 tsp sugar, and 2 TBSP butter.) Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes more. TIP: Taste and add more sugar if you like a sweeter curry. • Add bell pepper mixture and sour cream; stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.

• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper; divide between bowls. • Top rice with coconut curry chicken and sprinkle with a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
