Chicken Curry in Dutch Oven

Easy Chicken Curry prepared in your dutch oven. Braised chicken, carrots, garlic, curry powder, onions and chicken thighs come together for the perfect wholesome family dinner.

It’s summertime, and it’s hot, but I really wanted a warm healthy dish for our family dinner tonight and am so glad I stumbled upon this chicken curry recipe.

I love dutch ovens. They just make meal preparation so darn easy with the use of only one dish.

You begin by braising the chicken thighs in canola oil for a few minutes, remove the the chicken, add in the onions, then carrots and spices. The liquids come next.

You simmer for 25 minutes, and next thing you know, you’re serving this delicious dish over rice with chopped cilantro on top.

My whole family loved this – highly recommend you try it soon.
