The main course for the Indo-Canadian inspired recipes cooked up in the South Arm Cooking Club for seniors is a curry chicken dish.

This Apple Raisin Curry Chicken is an easy and comforting curry dish. It is a wonderful way to prepare using leftover cooked chicken breasts.

Instructions

If you’re cooking the chicken from scratch, either poach the chicken in simmering water for 15 minutes, or pan fry them for 5 minutes on each side or bake them in a 450F oven for 20 minutes.

Let the chicken cool before cutting them in cubes.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, apples, celery and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Add the flour and curry powder, and mix well. Slowly add the milk. Cook until thickens.

Add the chicken and the raisins. Heat through, then serve with rice.
