Curried Chicken (Easy)

Submitted by Andi Longmeadow Farm

""I Hate To Cook Book" is a delightful, funny and curious cookbook, copyrighted 1960 and was a girl's best friend. For the women who did it all, and was not predisposed to "liking" cooking to boot. This "Sunday Chicken" adaption is absolutely a lifesaver, for all of us, even now, in todays world. Just takes *chicken* and a couple other ingredients. Please give this your seal of approval--and most of all, *enjoy*."

I cheated a little bit and put a cup of rice in the bottom of the casserole dish and added a can of water. I of course had to cook it a bit longer but it was wonderful. Reviewed for ZWT 7.

I used 2 chicken breasts but still made the full amount of sauce so mine was really saucy. This was lovely & simple & really tasty, DH loved it & said he would happily pay for a dish such as this in a restaurant, I happily held out my hand for payment..LOL Thanks Andi!

This was really good! Kind of reminded my of pork divan without the broccoli. I used 1 pork tenderloin (cut into about 8 pieces) and broccoli soup instead of mushroom. I browned the meat first and decided to cook it with a lid on the casserole dish because I was afraid it would dry out. Served over rice. Made for ZWT7.

I cooked this on the stove instead of in the oven. I browned the chicken then mixed the rest of the ingredients in with it. I did add a little more half-n-half & I used cream of chicken & mushroom soup. I served it over rice. Yummy! Made for ZWT 7

My results were marvelous. I used cream of chicken soup and the curry. Yummm. It was so quick to put together that it was week night simple. I served it with Recipe#359599 and the flavors worked together beautifully.. This is a keeper for sure. Made for PAC, Spring 09.
