Curried chicken & rice

It came time to fix dinner the other night, and I knew we had leftover Rotisserie chicken. If you shop at Costco – this can be a great, inexpensive, convenient way to get chicken. Their chickens tend to be much larger than the ones you can get at the grocery store.

I also had a couple bags of frozen rice. It was time to visit the spice cabinet and see what I was going to do. Curry powder was the answer! My family loves curried chicken. This meal is super simple and very tasty.

Warm the chicken in the pan. Then add a little bit of water and some curry powder – amount depends on the level of spice and heat you want. Remember that curry gains strength and heat as it cooks, so don’t add too much. While this was heating, I cooked the two bags of frozen rice in the microwave. Once the chicken was hot, I stirred in the rice and let it all simmer for a few minutes.

The dish was very tasty, filling and inexpensive! It’s also a great way to use up leftovers! Leftover rice could have been used in place of the frozen. You could also add a vegetable like corn or sweet peas to this. Carrots would be good too.
