Curry Chicken with Rice


I know what you are thinking. Yes, you are on the right blog, and yes that is chicken. I got hungry for my mom's curry chicken recipe, and had to bite the bullet and handle (gulp) raw chicken. Shocking, I know! This chicken makes the apartment smell so nice, and really just reminds me of my childhood. Of course, while it may smell just like Mom's, it doesn't quite live up to the taste. But it is close, and I'll pat myself on the back for that. The best part of this meal is the gravy. It is fantastic over rice. It didn't thicken as much as I would have liked, but that's probably because I was hungry and a little impatient. Some people (Brett included) are a bit wary of curry, but it really is not overpowering in this recipe. I think it is the perfect amount of curry. It also has a bit of paprika, dried minced onion, and of course, salt and pepper for seasoning. I'll post the recipe under "comments" for you all to peruse. Get your fill because you won't see chicken too often on here!
