  2. Add carrots and potatoes, along with the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until carrots and potatoes are fork tender, stirring regularly.
  3. Break up the curry cubes to make them easier to mix, and mix them into the broth, stirring until combined.

  5. Let simmer until chicken is ready.
  6. Season again to taste  
  7. Plate the curry over a bed of rice and add the cut up chicken on top.

  5. Repeat Step 4 for all breasts.
  6. Heat oil in a pot using the tooth pick method (after heating the oil, dip a toothpick in. If the oil bubbles off the toothpick you are ready to fry, if not keep heating).
  7. Cook until the bottom is a light brown and flip (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Continue to cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165-170 degrees Farenheit, flipping again if necessary to not burn the breading.
