1. Place the chicken in a glass dish.

These were very good, but I have to admit they did not quite meet the expectations I had from reading other reviews. I used 1/3 c salsa instead of 1/4 c, and I'm glad I did as my only complaint with the recipe is that it needs more "kick". I used medium salsa; next time I will use hot or I will add 1/4-1/2 t cayenne to the marinade. As it is I sprinkled some on my serving and it made all the difference, adding that subtle warmth I expect from a curry dish. Otherwise this was good; the texture of the meat was nice and you can't beat the ease of prep. Thanks for posting, this will be a fun one to play with! I served this with couscous pilaf and steamed veggies.

A new favorite! I love this chicken recipe! I made it with boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs. Then I cut it into bite size pieces and added halved, black seedless grapes and served on whole wheat toasted bread. This recipe made a perfect curry chicken salad sandwich. Thank you for a great addition to my collection.

Mmmmm, very yummy chicken. I used breasts as I didn't have any thighs. The yoghurt made the chicken very tender but separated during cooking which gave the saucy a bit of a grainy appearance but it still tasted great! Thanks for a tasty and low-fat meal.

I love this recipe. Unfortunately by the time I made it my husband was sick of chicken dishes so he couldn't thoroughly enjoy it =( Really yummy though!

Family liked it a lot! Instead of yogurt I used sour cream and I also used a peach salsa. I think I should have added salt since my salsa was sweet. It was very nice. Thanks! Just updating- added salt, garlic and make it with sour cream and ordinary salsa so also added some cayenne pepper- marinated chicken breasts that I cubed for shish kabobs. Yum!
