What a wonderful change from the usual quick breakfast-type meal I usually serve myself when my husband is out of town! This chicken smelled heavenly as it was cooking. The chicken was moist and the rice was delicious! Except for the curry, this dish reminded me of a sweet & sour recipe I used to make years ago. I made everything the same as the directions called for except I extended the cooking time for the rice to cook thoroughly. It made a generous serving for one. Excellent recipe, Bill! -
really nice! i changed this a bit and cooked it like regular rice. i just threw a 20oz can of pineapple chunks in the pot, added maybe a cup of water, cup of rice, used only a half teaspoon of curry and diced up yellow peppers (hate green ones). what i would've done differently is added the onions (i was out of them), used at least a teaspoon of curry and used crushed pineapple instead of chunks- more liquid and a more even taste. well done! -
Easy, delicious and just right for one! I've made this 5 times in the past months and I love it each time.

Some of you know me as Brother William. No, I am not really a Monk, but I have grown to enjoy my simple and solo lifestyle. My love for humanity is based on fellowship rather than sensuality.
I PROMISE that I will never share a recipe unless I have tasted the food. Most of the recipes are mine, but I have included a few classics, and some recipes that were written by very creative people, that are just so good that I had to share. From time to time I have found recipes with my name on them in print magazines, but they are always altered in some way by the publisher. So there is no reason why you should not add your own personal touch. If you leave this page with just one thought, I hope that it would be that Cooking is a Creative Sport.
I grew up in Glenview Illinois, just north of Chicago. My Mother loved those little exotic cookbooks, that were sold as a weekly series in grocery stores in the 1950's. I was taught to eat whatever was put on my plate so I ate food from a different culture every week. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Mediterranean. After leaving my Mother's table, I have lived and enjoyed eating in Colorado, Missouri, Montana and Nebraska, before settling in Saint Cloud, Minnesota in 1975.
After a 30 year marriage with mixed reviews, I am now pleasantly single again, and plan to stay that way. Up until recently, I had occupied my evenings just talking with people and sometimes sharing recipes, while soliciting donations for Non-Profit Organizations. Yes .. that's right, for over 20 years, I was a Telemarketer. The perfect job for a Taurus.
I enjoy reading cook books the same way most people read novels,and I am still improving my skills in the art of Solo Cooking. However; my true passion will always be sharing my favorite recipes with all of you.
