  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 Potatoes, diced
  • 2 Carrots, diced
  • 1 package Japanese curry mix
  • 2 cups U.S.-grown medium-grain rice

  4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in salt, pepper, and soy sauce before coating. You can also bake the chicken instead of frying for a healthier option.
