Chicken with Lemon Curry Sauce

Submitted by Carla C.

"This dish is excellent served with Basmati rice since there will be a little extra sauce to spoon over the chicken and to flavor the rice nicely. This recipe is courtesy of the "Spice of Life Cookbook" by Treva Davis (no longer in print). "

Absolutely delectable. The fact that you can achieve this result without having to brown the meat, and you get only a single pan dirty, is just icing on the cake. The only change (a very minor one) that I made is that to save time, I sliced the garlic very thin rather than mince it. In this dish that works well. Is this a Indian cuisine? Malaysian?

Really good. The lemon curry sauce is a nice change of pace from regular curry sauces. The honey was the perfect finish- it completely cuts away the bitter flavor that had me worried when I first taste-tested it.

BNot cooked yet but I am always trying new recipes and the prep, feel, and smell of this is promising and so good to prepare , only complaint you have not suggested a dessert to accompany - I am useless about what to do as dessert (8+0) thank you for this Tony UK

I doubled the recipe and used chicken thighs. Not having an chili paste, I used chili powder. I loved it! It was so very easy and forgiving. This recipe definitely has to be served with some kind of palate cleanser though. Either that or have ice cream for desert. :)

I thought this was wonderful! I only cooked 1 chicken breast & cut the sauce into 1/4 as well. I used more apple juice for the wine & switched the coriander/curry amts to get more of a curry flavor. I marinated it for about an hour in the fridge (reserved half the sauce for serving) & cooked it on the skillet. Next time I'm going to try to cover & simmer it with the sauce on low, and also have more sauce on the side for dipping. It was tangy with a nice heat from the chili paste. Thank u for sharing this!
