Make With
Progresso Broth

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, mix coconut milk, broth and curry paste. (Taste to see if you want to add more curry paste for a hotter dish.)
  • 2
    Add rice; mix well. Add remaining ingredients except chicken; stir to combine. Place chicken on rice mixture; turn to coat.
  • 3
    Bake uncovered 1 hour or until rice is tender and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Using just 1 teaspoon of red curry paste will make this a mild, family-friendly dish. For medium spiciness, use 1 tablespoon curry paste; for hot, use 3 tablespoons. You can also serve Sriracha sauce on the side for those who like spicy curries.
  • tip 2
    Bone-in chicken can be used in this recipe; just be sure to remove the skin so the casserole doesn’t become too greasy. The baking time may need to be increased slightly for bone-in chicken.
  • tip 3
    Prepare casserole as directed—except do not bake. Cover with foil; freeze 2 to 3 months. Before baking, thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bake as directed, adding 5 to 10 minutes to baking time.
