Quick and Delicious One-Pot Chicken & Basmati Rice Recipe

After a long day, the last thing you want to think about is what to cook for dinner, right? I hear ya!

My mother-in-law shared a recipe with me for One-Pot Chicken and Basmati Rice with Spinach. She said it was delicious and easy to make.

After a long day (with a teething baby), I needed a recipe like this! 30 minutes later, I had dinner on the table! And only one dirty pan - bonus!

And wow - it was delicious! Definitely a recipe I'll be adding to my recipe box!

Give it a try! I hope it'll make your day like it did mine :)

One-Pot Chicken & Basmati Rice with Spinach

2 tbsp butter

2 tsp minced fresh ginger,

OR ½ tsp ground ginger

2 tsp curry powder

¾ cup basmati rice

2 cups 5% or 10% cream

In a large deep pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes or until onions are softened.

Add chicken, ginger and curry powder and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned.
