Fantastic Chicken Curry

Submitted by PalatablePastime

"This curry is easy with the addition of ready-made curry powder instead of making your own. The mango chutney gives a nice touch. Goes nice with rice, and warm Indian breads too!"

This recipe lives up to its name. Absolutely fantastic! This is just like a dish they serve at a popular Vietnamese restaurant here in NYC-- Saigon Grill. The only things I did different was skipped the cilantro and I used Apricot preserves instead of mango chutney. Delicious! I wouldn't recommend skipping the preserves or chutney as it makes the dish. Thanks so much for sharing.

You are correct in saying this Fantastic! It is very easy to make, yet the dish tastes like you have spent a lot of time cooking. The sauce was lovely and full of flavor. The mango chutney definately added another taste sensation. The meal was truly delightful, and you made me look good, Sue ;-) Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

This was fantastic! Had to use a red pepper instead of the green, but followed the recipe otherwise. Will be making again! Thanks Sue!

5 Stars, a mellow and mild, only slightly sweet dish; seek out the best quality curry powder, as that will determine how well you enjoy this recipe. I used Merwanjee Poonjiajee & Sons's Madras Curry Powder; I might use Garum Masala curry powder another time. Two bone-in chicken breasts weighed 1 1/2 lbs, so this served two; I had to transfer from a 12" skillet to a 5 1/2 quart skillet to accommodate the chicken and the potatoes. The bone adds flavor to the sauce, but I wouldn't have to turn the chicken over if it was cut up in smaller pieces (but I would have to shorten the cooking time). I used Crosse & Blackwell's Major Grey Chutney, located near the hot tomato sauces. With so much diced potato, I wouldn't dream of serving over rice; I served over steamed green beans. I will make this again! Made for Photo Tag.
