Ingredients for A 1 Bombay Chicken

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • Cooking Oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • Golden Raisin
  • Basmati Rice
  • 1 cup water or chicken broth
  • Flaked Coconut
  • Salted Peanuts
  • Curry Powder

How to Make A 1 Bombay Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare all ingredients. (See ingredient list for measurements.)
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp margarine in a large wok or skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 large chopped onion to the wok and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add ½ cup raisins and cook until plump, about 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in 2 tbsp curry powder (adjust to taste), and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  8. Add 2 cups cooked basmati rice, 1 cup shredded coconut, and ½ cup peanuts. Stir to combine.
  9. Pour in 1 cup water or chicken broth and stir well.
  10. Grease a 2-inch deep baking dish. Pour rice mixture into the dish.
  11. Arrange the browned chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture, skin-side up.
  12. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is heated through. Check internal temperature of chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
  13. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving directly from the baking dish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
