Fit of culinary motivation


I tried a new recipe last night...Chicken Curry in a Hurry. It really was quick, and it was delicious! Here's the recipe:
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced (I used some onion powder instead)
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 cup plain yogurt (1 small container)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained (optional, I didn't use this)
1 rotisserie chicken (from the deli section of your grocery store)
2 cups cooked white rice (optional, we used this)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped (I didn't use this)

Heat the oil in large skillet over medium low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. Sprinkle with curry powder and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the yogurt and cream and simmer gently for 3 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, and tomatoes (if using). Remove from heat.
Slice or shred the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Divide the rice and chicken among individual bowls, spoon the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the cilantro.
I did do a couple of things differently at the end. I had tried to keep the rotisserie chicken warm, but it cooled quite a bit while I was tearing it off the bones and slicing it up. So, I left the sauce on the stove and put the chicken in the pan with the sauce to warm it up. We then put rice in our bowls and just served the chicken and sauce together out of the pan. This recipe was so good, and any combination of chicken and rice is good with me. Great bowl of warm comfort food!

This morning before I left I put a roast in the crock pot for tonight, and I'm thinking about making an apple crisp for dessert. I don't know what's come over me! I've also got a bag of Amish friendship bread starter going, AND my kitchen is even clean! Go me!
