Curry Chicken

Curry is a wonderful spice found all over the world and an excellent method of preparing foods. Most people have their own favourite brand of curry. Personally I prefer Chief Brand Curry Powder which is a product of Trinidad & Tobago.
Cooking with curry can be messy so, be careful, those stains may never come out. But, the aroma that will permeate throughout your home is intoxicating. If you aren't hungry at the beginning of cooking your belly will be grumbling and mouth watering before you've finished cooking.
Well, enough of the chit chat I'm getting hungry simply thinking about it. So on with the recipe for Curry Chicken...

There are a few different ways to serve curry chicken. It may be served over white rice, rice & peas, wrapped in roti or with buss up shot. It depends for me on what I am craving that day but most often I serve it with white rice. Just to be clear by white rice I am reffering to parboiled rice. Also, at times, I like it with mango chutney, kuchela or tamarind sauce.
