1
Open the tomatoes and strain the juice into a measuring cup. I usually get one cup of juice from two cans.
2
In a 3-qt sauce pan partially melt the butter and add the rice. Mix the rice with the butter and saute 3-4 minutes on medium heat, stirring every 45 seconds or so.
3
Add the reserved juice from the tomatoes and enough water to equal a total of 3 1/3 cups of liquid (the amount of water is from an Uncle Ben's package, so please check the cooking directions on your rice and adjust accordingly).
4
Using medium-high heat add the oil and onions to your favorite skillet, cooking until translucent.
5
Add the garlic, tomatoes, and chicken. Sprinkle on the curry powder and add 1/4-1/2 cup of water to the skillet. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for approx 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to coat the chicken with the liquid.
6
Remove the lid from the chicken and allow sauce to reduce as it simmers.
7
When rice has about 3-4 minutes of cook time left add it to the skillet and stir all ingredients together. I like to add a little more curry powder and red pepper flakes at this stage also.
8
When the rice is at your desired texture the dish is ready to serve.
