Very good meal! We made with boneless skinless thighs and turned out great. I do agree the cooking time might be a little long. Maybe cooking on low for 4-5 hours would work better. The carrots picked up the sweetness of the sauce, and the chicken had a nice flavor. Not overly curry tasting. May add more "spice" next time. Also, we had a lot of carrots left over, maybe will use less next time. Will definitely make again.

Smelled wonderful and I loved the sauce - the curry was a great addition to chicken. The red peppers on top were perfectly done and added a nice flavor. I did this with a side of jasmine rice - yummy! I had to substitute regular yellow mustard w/ a dash of Worcestershire sauce for grainy brown mustard. I also cooked this for 3 hrs instead of the recommended 3 1/2 - 4 hrs because the chicken was already overdone and dry at 3 hrs. Will try again, perhaps covered in the oven next time after browning the chicken on the stovetop. I think the flavor of chicken thighs would go great with this too.

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
