Prep
- Rotisserie chicken - Take meat off the bone and shred. Use knife and fork or just hands. If you’re making Wednesday’s dinner, prep both night’s portions. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
- Rice - If not made from last night, cook rice. For white rice, rinse until clear. Fill a saucepan or Dutch oven (or rice cooker) with rice, water (use 2:1 ratio for water to rice), and some salt. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Once water boils, stir, lower heat to a low-medium, and cover. Check white rice after ~20 min; brown at ~45 min. Rice is done when it's absorbed all the water. If it's not done, leave the cover on until all water has been absorbed. Take cover off to release steam and fluff with a wooden spoon after 5 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Onions / Cauliflower / Green beans - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

Huge winner! We followed the recipe exactly, then some added hot sauce to make theirs a bit spicier. Both were really delicious. We used pre-chopped cauliflower and this meal was so quick and tasty.
0 HelpfulSubbed sugar snap peas for green beans, and only used 1 cup of chicken broth. Perfect! I think the flavors enhanced overnight, as my leftovers were delicious. I ran out of rice so dipped a piece of bread in the extra sauce - yum! Added extra curry and cayenne pepper and still thought it could have been spicier. Maybe I should try a different brand of curry.
0 HelpfulI used raw chicken and Indian curry paste instead because that's all I could find that day, and it worked equally well. I also found the sauce too thin, so I added a bit of cornstarch dissolved in cold water and brought it one final boil for it to thicken. Nice!
