Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, medium-dice the zucchini. Remove the root ends of the bok choy; quarter lengthwise. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and cut into bite-size pieces; season with S&P.
Start the curry
In a large, high-sided pan (or large pot), heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the zucchini and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to brown. Transfer to a plate. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until partially cooked. Add the coconut milk, demi-glace, spices and 1 cup water. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until the chicken is almost cooked through.
Toast the almonds
Meanwhile, heat a small, dry pan on medium. Add the almonds and toast, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl.
Finish the curry
To the pan of curry, add the bok choy and zucchini. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 min., until the vegetables have softened and the chicken* is cooked through.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the curry. Garnish with the almonds. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
