Add onion, diced pepper if using, a pinch of salt, cook until it just gets translucent stirring occasionally, I added some red pepper flakes at this point, just because I like it that way.

Cut chicken into 3/4 inch pieces, I'm using thighs here.

Add coconut milk and curry powder, stir, cook for 2 minutes, until it thickens a little

Add chicken, cook until just done, 7 minutes depending on the size of your pieces, and protein used.

Lower heat, add rice, stir in. Cover, warm rice through, stir every 2 minutes. It took about 5 or 6 minutes for me.

Serve, you could use some parsely or chopped green onion for garnish. Slivered almonds are good also.
