Easy Chicken Curry

"My kids love chicken curry. If it is "sport night" I can stop at the store and pick up a whole barbecued chicken and have this on the table in 20 minutes. Leftovers taste even better. I serve it over rice."

  1. Great recipe, quick,easy and kids love it. Unfortunately my kids do not like little pieces and are very difficult with vegetables if they can see them... So I put a quarter of a red paprika to cook from the beginning with the other ingredients and after adding the chicken broth, instead of the starch, I add a potato,cook it all a bit longer and then mix it up in the blender before I add the chicken.
     
  2. This was fast & delicious. I added more curry based on reviews and also raisins & peanuts. It was a hit over rice!
     
  3. Quick and Easy! I enjoyed the apples in this curry dish, which I'd never tried before. Thanks for a great weeknight keeper!
     
  4. This was easy, quick and tasty. I had an extra cutlet defrosted from another meal and poached it to prepare a half batch of this recipe. A little short on cubed poultry, added a half cup of carrots (cooked with the onions and apples) to round out the bulk and sneak in some extra veggies. Will definitely make this again adding a little ginger and chili peppers to make the spices a bit more complex.
     
  5. This is a good basic curry. I added more curry powder and garlic and a pinch of cinnamon, then served over a rice pilaf with raisins and almonds already in it. DH thought it was too mild, but jalapeno chutney helped him with that!

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies. <a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=rsc002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/rsc002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/lucyatpoppys005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=hilfiger001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/hilfiger001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
