After a crushing victory by four votes, against the two for the Crispy Chicken (irony mode on), today we bring you a delicious recipe we’ve been making for a long time and that we’ve been in love with ever since we first tried it.
What do we need?
One chicken breast
One cup of rice
Half an onion
200 ml (3/4 cup) heavy cream
Curry powder to taste
Salt
2 garlic cloves
How do we make it?
Pour a bit of oil into a small pot. Chop a garlic clove and add it. When the garlic is slightly golden, add the rice.
Stir-fry the rice for a moment and add twice as much water as rice. Add salt.
When it starts to boil, lower the heat to medium-low and cover. It’ll be ready in 15-20 minutes.
While the rice cooks, slice the onion into thin strips.
Place a frying pan with a splash of oil over the heat and add the onion.
Cut the chicken into strips and toss it into the pan.
When the chicken is partly cooked, add a couple of tablespoons of curry powder.
Let everything cook together for a bit and stir in the cream.
Bring to a boil and add more curry and salt to taste. You’ll have to keep tasting as you go.
Tips:
If you want a nice presentation, you can fill half a glass with the cooked rice. Press it down a bit with a spoon so it packs together. Flip it onto the plate and you’ll have a little rice tower.
The first time Pastelera tried it, it was served with grilled peaches in syrup. Give it a try.

Tips:
- You can have an easy and nice presentation just using a cup to create a rice tower. Fill a cup with cooked rice, press with a spoon and turn the cup upside down over the dish.
- You can serve it with some canned peaches. Just grill them a bit and serve them as a garnish.
