Light, diet-friendly, easy dinner. I sprinkled those wonderful curried almonds on top of the chicken when served, was the right time? With so many ingredients and so many steps, it would help to put the ingredients in the order to be used. As for the brown rice, I buy a quality brown rice and soak it prior to cooking, and cooked it with defatted broth from Recipe #369106 (which provided great-tasting chicken). <br/>Made for The Wild Bunch for ZWT8's trip to India.

Yummy! I used some cooking pears that I canned last year instead of the apple since I have an overabundant supply of them. I also served it over quinoa instead of the brown rice. For ZWT7 Silverados.
