This homemade chicken curry is incredibly easy and super delicious! Serve this lightly spicy curry over a bed of white rice for a meal the whole family will enjoy.

Homemade chicken curry is so easy to make!

This chicken curry recipe just takes one pot! Okay, and one container for marinating the chicken. But, still just one dish to cook it which makes this mama who hates dishes very happy.

Also, note that we do recommend marinating your chicken with curry powder and milk of your choice for at least two hours. You could also do it overnight, just a minimum of two hours to get that yummy curry flavor.

You cook the veggies (garlic and onion) first then add curry powder, more butter (duh), canned tomatoes, and some additional spices to your stock pot.

All the ingredients you need for chicken curry.

This is a pretty simple curry recipe but it does have a handful of ingredients. The good news is that you probably already have most of them at home! Take a gander at the full list below.

• Curry Powder. Well, obviously, right? We got ours from a local International Market called Saraga but you can find some at your local grocery store. We’ve also used Penzey’s curry powder in the past which is great! Note that some recipes use curry paste (like this one) but we opted for a recipe with powder.
• Chicken. We used chicken breast because we wanted something a little thicker. Typically, we use chicken thighs for our recipes but didn’t think it’d hold up in the curry as well. You could also use thick chicken tenders.
• Veggies. We used garlic, onions, and canned tomatoes in this curry which is typical. You could add some other veggies like broccoli or carrots.
• Other Spices. We used salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in our curry recipe. Depending on the heat level of your curry powder, you can add more or less red pepper flakes to your desired spiciness. We like things a little on the spicier end but you can totally control it here!

You’ll also need these few kitchen tools to make your homemade curry.

Well, you don’t need too many kitchen tools but these ones are very helpful when making this easy dinner dish.

• Dutch Oven. We’ve had several of these in our marriage and loved them all. My dad bought us an Amazon one that we still love and use a lot for frying things. We also have a Staub and Le Creuset, both are wonderful. But, if you want something inexpensive that works well – the Amazon Basics one is under $50 and works great!
• Rice Cooker. You’ll need some white rice to eat with this curry! We have a Zojurushi rice cooker that I bought Joel one year for a birthday or Christmas. It’s seriously magical. It’s so easy to make and creates perfect rice (among other things) every single time. It’s a little pricey but worth every penny.
• Sharp Knife. We use Shun knives and love them. This is the chef’s knife we have and again, it’s a little pricey but 100% worth it. We also have this 7 inch knife that comes in handy in the kitchen.

A few of our other favorite easy homemade dinners for the whole family.

These three recipes are tried and true recipes that we love in our household.

• Buffalo Chicken Casserole. I love this dish so much. It’s creamy and delicious and made with egg noodles and is just delightful.
• 10 Minute Pizza Dough. This BBQ chicken pizza is made with a 10 minute homemade pizza dough that is seriously delicious.
• Homemade Cobb Salad. Cobb salads are my favorite salad! This one comes with a homemade ranch and it’s so yummy.
