Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the onions. Sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking prepare the rice by first rinsing in a fine-mesh colander. Place drained rice in a medium saucepan and add the water. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and cook for
- When the onions are done, turn the heat to medium-high and add the chicken. Cook for several minutes, allowing it to brown up a bit, then add 3 cups water, carrots, and potatoes; cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low and add the apple, salt and curry powder. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
- Meanwhile, make the roux by adding the butter to a small saucepan over medium low heat. When butter has melted, whisk in the flour. Cook until the flour starts to turn a medium gold, about 5 minutes. Add the curry powder, cayenne pepper, and freshly ground black pepper, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Next add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and honey, mixing well to combine. Whisk in 1 cup water. Once smooth pour roux mixture into the chicken/vegetable pot, stirring to prevent lumps and bring to a boil. Add the peas and turn down to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice.
