Ingredients:

700 g chicken breast, skinless, boneless, cut into 4 cm pieces

salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

1 tablespoon of butter

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 cup chopped onion

2 teaspoons of peeled and chopped fresh ginger

2 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped

1 cup chopped tomatoes

2 cups green beans, cut into 5 cm pieces

1 teaspoon of curry powder

1 pinch of ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 cup jasmine rice

2 bay leaves

2 teaspoons of fish sauce

1½ cups chicken broth

Directions:

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

2. Melt the butter in a large pot and sprinkle with turmeric. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned (2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side, 2-3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

3. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 2 minutes). Add tomatoes, green beans, curry powder, cinnamon, cumin and rice. Stir continuously until fragrant (about 1 minute). Return the chicken and any juices to the pot, along with the bay leaves, fish sauce and chicken stock.

4. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low; simmer for 10 minutes.

5. If necessary, partially remove the lid of the pot and continue to simmer until the rice is tender (another 10-15 minutes).

6. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve warm, with additional seasonings (to taste).
