Green Curry Chicken, Potatoes, and Onions over Brown Rice

We love us some curry, especially the Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce from Trader Joe's. Though the simmer sauce is delicious, it is just that - a sauce, so we tend to add a few touches here and there to make a hearty-quick-and delicious-perfect-for-a-weeknight meal. Yes, I know - it's from a jar! True. But sometimes you don't always have time to make a curry and you want something tasty, cost effective, time efficient, and healthy.

Chop two good sized potatoes with a small onion and sauteed these together with a bit of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is thicker than olive oil, but you don't need much - just enough to moisten your pan, really. Toss rock salt, cumin, and fresh minced ginger into the mix, stirring every now and then. Setting aside the potatoes and onions, saute two diced chicken breasts until nearly done, adding one jar of Trader Joe's Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce and the potatoes and onions. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally. We like to serve it over brown rice, but jasmine rice is tasty too. Total time? About thirty minutes.

  1. I've had a jar of this on my shelf for roughly 7 months. Perhaps this will inspire me to alter this situation...
