Ingredients

• 800 grams Skinless boneless chicken breast
• 2 medium Onion
• 2 large Carrot
• 2 medium Potato
• 150 grams Green peas
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 100 grams Japanese curry roux
• 750 milliliters Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the ingredients: dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, thinly slice the onions, chop the carrots into slices, and cut the potatoes into medium cubes.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and grate the ginger for added flavor.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the garlic and ginger, stir well, and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the pot. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the carrots and potatoes, then pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Break the Japanese curry roux into small pieces and add them to the pot. Stir continuously until the roux has completely dissolved, thickening the curry.

Step 9

Add the green peas and let the curry simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring everything is well-cooked and flavorful.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the high protein Japanese chicken curry hot over steamed rice or enjoy it on its own.
