Curried Chicken & Rice

This was a little different for our gang, but mommy loves curry! This isn’t AT ALL spicy, just the yummy flavor of a little curry thrown in for good measure.

You’ll need:

  • 2 SL BL chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • Campbell’s Chicken and Rice Condensed Soup – GF in Canada- I’m not sure about the US
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 scant soup can of white rice.
  • 2 cans of water
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese

Directions:

1. Saute onions with garlic and olive oil, add chicken and curry. Cook until chicken is done.
2. Add chicken to casserole dish.
3. Add everything else into casserole dish (I don’t know about you but whenever someone tells me to mix something in another bowl and then toss it in, I think they must be taking advantage of the kitchen staff, and, well, since I AM the kitchen staff around here, we manage just fine with the whole mix-it-right-in-the-casserole-method.)
4. Cook at 350F for one hour. Top with cheddar 10 minutes before removing from oven.

Of course I forgot to take a picture.

One thing I will rarely post are spicy recipes.  It just isn’t us.  We’re hot, don’t get me wrong.  :)   We just don’t particularly care for hot food.  We do at least once a month have taco salad.  And yesterday I shared my two week menu.  The day after a meal with mashed potatoes, is usually shepherd's pie.  And yesterday I happened to not only have mashed potatoes, but leftover taco-seasoned ground beef too.  It was absolutely divine!  And the spicy-ness was to our liking, because I tend to use minimal taco seasoning on our ground beef anyway.  I highly recommend arranging your menu to produce the necessary ‘leftovers’ for this dish!

  • leftover mashed potatoes (approx 2 cups)
  • leftover taco meat (from 1 – 2 cups)
  • 1/2 package of onion soup mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • leftover mixed veggies
  • leftover grilled peppers, onions, mushrooms
  • couple tablespoons grated cheddar cheese

1. Mix everything together except the potatoes and cheese, in a large casserole dish or roasting pan.

2. Top evenly with mashed potatoes and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

3.  Bake 350°F for 1/2 an hour or until heated through.

Enjoy!
