With rich flavors, vibrant colors, and comforting qualities, curry is one of my favorite food cravings. I love all types of curry, especially Japanese, Thai, Indian, and Malaysian. Since taking the kids to Curry House Coco Ichibanya last month for its popular chicken omelet curry, they kept asking for more.
I love surprising my family when they least expect it, so I bought an omelet ring to make my version of chicken omelet curry. I like my curry packed with meat and veggies, so I came up with the easy Chicken Curry with Potatoes, Carrots, and a Fluffy Egg Omelet recipe. This dish features tender chicken thigh, hearty potatoes, and vibrant carrots, simmered in a rich curry sauce, complemented by a perfectly cooked egg omelet served on top.
Since my kids couldn’t eat spicy food, I picked the best Japanese curry roux, which I have been eating since I was a kid. I have tried many different brands before, but this is clearly the winner. The curry is so delicious with amazing flavors of apple and honey. I love the perfect balance of sweetness and richness of curry.
As for the ideal rice to go with the curry, I’ve found that it tastes the best with Jasmine rice cooked in the rice cooker. The fragrant rice tastes so unbelievably fluffy compared to cooking it over the stove or in the microwave. I always double the amount of rice when I cook curry. It’s impossible to eat just one bowl of rice when it soaks up all that rich and savory curry sauce. Our family loves this dish when we are starving because we can enjoy unlimited rice and curry like we are out at a buffet!
This incredibly tasty healthy dish is packed with nutritional benefits! Chicken is an excellent source of lean protein, essential for muscle repair and overall health. Vegetables with potatoes and carrots add a hearty dose of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, supporting digestive health and boosting your immune system. The egg omelet on top adds an extra layer of protein and essential nutrients like choline, promoting brain health.
I hope you will love this flavorful Japanese curry dish and make your taste buds dance while nourishing your body!

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by gathering all the ingredients. Wash and peel the carrots and potatoes. Chop them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Cut the onions into bite-sized chunks. Chop the chicken breast into cubes. Prepare 4 cups of rice. We recommend using the Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker for perfectly cooked rice every time. Set everything aside in separate bowls for easy access.
-
Boil the Potatoes and Carrots:
Place the chopped potatoes and carrots in a large pot with 6 quarts of water. We love to use our Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Chef's Oven, 7.5qt, Flame color for large recipes like this. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the vegetables cook until they are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
Cook the Chicken and Onions:
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and bite-sized chunks of onions. Cook until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients and Simmer:
Add the cooked chicken and onions to the pot with the boiling potatoes and carrots. Drop in half a package, six cubes of the House Foods Vermont Curry (apple and honey flavor) and stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Prepare the Fluffy Egg Omelet:
While the curry is simmering, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until well mixed. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place an omelet ring in the center of the pan. Add a small amount of avocado oil inside the ring and pour in the beaten eggs. Let them cook undisturbed on medium heat until the edges start to set. Reduce the heat to low and allow the eggs to simmer until fully cooked and fluffy. Carefully remove the omelet ring and cut the omelet into strips or pieces, then set aside.
-
Serve the Curry
Place a dome of the prepared rice in the center of each serving bowl. Spoon the hot chicken curry around the dome of rice. Place the entire fluffy egg omelet over the dome of rice. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.
Serve your Double Pan Delight: Quick Chicken Curry with Carrots, Potatoes, and a Fluffy Egg Omelet immediately. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish with your loved ones!
For an easy way to dome the rice, rub a bit of oil all over a small rounded bowl and pack the rice in it, then turn the small bowl upside down in the big bowl and the dome of rice will come right out.
