1
Prep the ingredients
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife
Measuring cups and spoons

Prep the ingredients: cut the chicken, dice the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, rinse the rice, and chop the cilantro before heating the skillet.

Wash hands, cutting board, and knife after handling raw chicken.

Keep the knife blade angled away from fingers while cutting and chopping.

1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs
1 Count yellow onion
3 Count garlic
1 tablespoon ginger
1 cup basmati rice
2 tablespoons cilantro
2
Brown the chicken
Wooden spoon
Large deep skillet with lid

Melt the butter in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown lightly for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Use caution when adding chicken to hot butter to reduce splatter.

2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs
3
Cook aromatics and spices
Wooden spoon
Large deep skillet with lid

Add the onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, and salt. Cook until the onion is softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

1 Count yellow onion
3 Count garlic
1 tablespoon ginger
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
4
Add rice and liquids
Measuring cups and spoons
Wooden spoon
Large deep skillet with lid

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and rinsed rice. Scrape the bottom of the skillet, then bring to a steady simmer.

1 can tomatoes
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 cup basmati rice
5
Cover and cook
Instant-read thermometer
Large deep skillet with lid

Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the chicken reaches 165°F.

Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm the chicken reaches 165°F.

6
Finish with cream and cilantro
Wooden spoon
Large deep skillet with lid

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve warm.

2 tablespoons cilantro
