Excellent!!! I used chicken thighs and seasoned the flour with salt & pepper, so I was able to cut back on the full teaspoon of salt. We're not too crazy about mushrooms so the last 10 minutes of cooking time, I stirred in ½ cup of raisins which beautifully complimented the curry. A definite keeper, thank you.

This is a very good recipe. I did cut the thyme and curry by half. I am not a huge curry fan so thought I should cut them both to balance it out. I could still taste the curry but not overwhelming. For curry lovers go for it with gusto! My husband and son both really liked it. My son said it is at least a 10 Star!! I used chicken breasts and cut them into thick strips which cut back the simmering time to about 30 minutes. I do think it would be wonderful with a variety of chicken parts but breasts are what I had on hand. I served it over fresh linguine which worked well. This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

I STILL live in sunny southern California, BUT NOT in fabulous West Hollywood. I NOW LIVE IN "THE VALLEY". I live, work, go to shul, shop and socialize all within about a 6 miles radius, and I love it.
I love to read, write, go to movies, sing and cook. And eat. And I unapologetically love TV. I adore my dog, Tuffy, and my amazing HUSBAND, NOT boyfriend, CZ. AND MY GORGEOUS BABY GIRL, A.
I stole my Mom's tattered copy of 'Joy of Cooking' MORE THAN a few years ago. She's still looking for it. It's just good reading, ya know? I grew up on Jeff Smith and Julia Child, and I miss them both on PBS.
