Chicken Curry Recipe ~ To Die For!

Hey all!

A couple of posts ago, I mentioned that I'd like to share some recipes with you. Well, here is the first one! I'd love to hear your comments on it if you decide to try it!!

The recipe is for four people, but you can easily adjust it by cutting it in half. I try to use organic ingredients whenever possible, but that's totally up to you. You can also subsitute the chicken with prawns! I made this last night for dinner and my hubby thought it was super delicious! So i think it's worth sharing with you all! Here it goes:

• 1 cup of your favorite rice (or Couscous works well, too!)
• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or if you buy it fresh from the butcher, they might give you a whole breast, which is actually two)
• 1 Apple
• 1 medium can of Pineapple (about 8 slices)
• 1/4 cup of Pineapple juice from that can
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 4 Tbsp. Sour cream (you can use low fat, if you like)
• 1/2 cup of Chicken Stock
• 2 Tbsp. of your favorite Curry
• 1 Tbsp. Flour
• 1 Tbsp. Butter
• Salt to taste

Cook the rice (or couscous) according to directions on package. I used brown Jasmin rice, which worked beautifully.

Cut up your chicken into stripes (like you would for a stir fry) and brown it in a frying pan. Meanwhile, peel and cut up your apple in bite sizes, but not too thick. Open your can of pineapple and make sure you save the juice for later.

Drain the chicken if necessary, return to pan and dust it with the flour and curry. Stir well, making sure everything is evenly covered. Then add your chicken stock, the pineapple juice and the apple slices. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce and cook uncovered for approx. 20 minutes.

Stir in your frozen peas so that they have enough time to thaw (about 5 minutes). TAKE YOUR PAN OFF THE FIRE and add your sour cream just at the end. You don't want to heat it up anymore after you added the sour cream, it will curdle! Add salt to taste.

In a separate frying pan add the butter and heat, then add your pineapple slices and brown them on each side. Put on top of curry chicken and serve with rice. Voila! Bon Appetit, or En Guete, as we say.
