    Mom’s Curry Chicken for a Super-Easy, Kid-Friendly Weeknight Meal

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on February 21, 2019 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    Some curry chicken recipes use cream or yogurt, or the flavor might be a little bold for young taste buds. But this is a very Americanized twist that is dairy-free, simple to make, and kid-approved. It was submitted by Go Dairy Free viewer, Kerri:

    This was a great (and really quick) suggestion by my mom for our family! We had it tonight and the boys (ages 2 and 4 1/2) ate a HUGE bowl full! It was a good change from our usually tomato-based sauces.

    Tips: Mom’s Curry Chicken

    Kerri originally shared this recipe with us back in 2011. Today we’re giving it a big update and adding some tips!

    Slightly Higher Heat Option – Kerri sometimes speeds up the cooking time just a little by increasing the oven temperature to 350ºF and baking for 75 minutes.

    Modifying to Taste – The sauce is mixed up before you add the chicken, so you can adjust it to fit your family’s taste. Kerri doesn’t specify what type of mustard she uses, which can alter the flavor. So don’t be afraid to experiment with different types.

    How to Serve It – You will be left with a saucy finish, so I recommend serving it over cooked rice, quinoa, or potatoes. For vegetables, steamed broccoli or green beans are good options. And you can serve dairy-free pita or other bread on the side.

    Use your discretion on the amount of curry powder. Ours was mild curry, but my mom’s is extra hot.

      No, I’m sorry, I haven’t. I would cook it for a standard amount of time that you would with other chicken recipes.

      Hi there, have you ever made chicken curry in an instapot? If so, do your ingredients change and how long do you cook it for? Thank you!
