Today's one-dish meal is best prepared as two dishes. Okay, so The Cook &
Kitchen Staff stretched the definition of a casserole just a bit, in order
to provide you with a greater variety of dinner ideas from our "Creative
Casserole" collection. Please, forgive us.
It's easy to get into a rut in the kitchen because each time you prepare a
dish, it seems there's less time and money to spend. We recommend you take
an extra 15 minutes of cooking, slicing, and dicing time to prepare today's
recipe. It's guaranteed to spice up your dinner table tonight.
Cook chicken breasts in a large skillet over medium heat with just a splash
of olive oil to evenly brown the meat. Take your time to make sure the
chicken is cooked through; you can cut it into smaller sections as you
brown it to speed up your cooking time. Set aside cooked chicken and when
it's cool enough to handle, dice it.
Melt the butter or margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat, and add
apple, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and
tender.
In a small mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, curry powder, a dash salt, and
cold chicken broth. Make sure no lumps of cornstarch remain in the sauce
base, then add the mixture to the sautéed fruit and vegetables. Cook over
medium heat until the sauce is thick and bubbly. Stir in cooked chicken and
mushrooms.
Heat the mixture through and serve over hot cooked rice. We recommend the
recipe given below for East Indian Rice. You may also offer condiments of
raisins, shredded coconut, chopped peanuts, and/or chutney.
Kitchen Staff Tip: Today's curried chicken recipe goes well with a service
of East Indian Rice. To prepare, simply melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine in
a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/4 cup
slivered almonds to the sizzling butter and sauté until golden. Add 1/2 cup
golden raisins and continue to heat until plump. Add the mixture to 6 cups
of cooked rice and gently toss to combine. Pour the rice on a platter and
create a well in the center to retain your chicken curry.
