Chicken Curry

Chicken Curry

 

Another simple recipe. For all those other chicken-in-sauce enterprises, where when the chicken is gone you have no use for the sauce, this is a welcome alternative. Instead of just garbage-disposaling perfectly good vegetables and juices, I just make more rice. The curry is great even without the chicken.

 

Medium-heat in a skillet (preferably one with a cover):

1 tbsp olive oil

Add and saute

1 chopped onion

Then add and saute further

1 chopped garlic clove (or 2; why not?)

1 chopped red, yellow, or orange pepper

1 1/2 tbsp curry

1/2 tsp dried thyme

Add

3 skinned, peeled, & chopped tomatoes (medium; aim for a pound) or approx 16 oz. of canned chopped tomatoes 

1/2 cup water

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 oz raisins

Bring to boil in (covered) skillet, stirring often. Turn to low. Pour over

2 to 4 pieces of chicken (legs and thighs recommended)

Bake at 350 degrees, covered, for an hour. Turn chicken during baking. Dinner will be tender. Serve with lots of white rice.
