Chicken Recipes: Chicken Curry Casserole with Apples and Peanuts

I always cooked chicken curry with rice. One day I saw a recipe in a book where they used apples with chicken; I twisted the recipe a little, added few choices of my own, barred fatty ingredients and came up with this delicious casserole. Give it a try!

  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 200 ml coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup boiled chicken stock
  • 1 green apple, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried raisins
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts


Directions

  1. In a preheated pan, add the Canola oil, onion, garlic and coriander. Stir until onion is golden and tender.
  2. Add the celery,and carrots. Stir for 5 minutes.
  3. In another pan, brown chicken on both sides, then transfer to the vegetables' pan.
  4. Add the coconut cream, chicken stock, curry powder, bring to the boil.

Chicken Recipes: Chicken Casserole with Bacon and Glazed Carrots


Chicken is one of my favorite kind of meat. I have to admit, though, that the only part I like to cook with is the breast- skinless boneless breast. This is why you will only find chicken breast recipes in the poultry section but you can surely substitute them with thighs, wings, or a whole skinned chicken. How to be Super Mom's simple chicken recipes are always easy and mouthwatering. If you are a fan of bacon then this is the recipe for you. 

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour

  • 500g skinless boneless breasts
