Sweet Curry Chicken

For today's post to christen the blog, I chose a recipe I got recently. Of course, it has already been tweaked some by me, but it remains intact with the main recipe. I kosher the chicken, and I prefer to serve it over basmati rice. That's about it! Enjoy :).


Ingredients


2 lbs Chicken, Breast, Skinless -- Soak for 30 minutes in Kosher salt water. Rinse well.
8 oz Honey
8 oz Mustard, Yellow -- Use the Spicy Mustard. Dijon preferred
3 tsp Curry Powder
3 tbsp Butter, Unsalted
2 cup Celery -- Rinse and chop.
2 cup Onions -- Chop
2 box Mushrooms, Crimini -- Chop


Instructions


After rinsing the chicken well, place in cooking dish that is oven safe. Season the chicken lightly -- a poultry seasoning is fine. Cook the chicken for one and a half hours or until fully cooked, at 325 degrees. Remove and let cool a minute.


When the chicken is almost done, about an hour in, prepare the onions, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté them until onions are translucent. Remove from heat.


Chop chicken into bite size pieces and put into a bowl. While doing this, warm a skillet over medium heat.


Combine the butter, honey, mustard, and curry powder. Mix well until there are no groupings of each individual ingredient.


Add the chicken and coat well with the sauce. Then add the celery, onion, and mushroom mixture. Serve immediately.

My work colleague gave me some ideas on some curry chicken (less on the sweet side), and I haven't yet gotten to it but it's on the list. I will try yours though and see how good the flavors come out.
Keep posting! I love trying new stuff and getting ideas for things. The more stuff you try, the more ideas for new recipes come to you ...
