How to make a tasty simple Curry Chicken

Curried chicken is quick and easy and adds a bit of Indian flair to your repertoire. This recipe has a bit of kick to it so, if you aren't fond of hot or spicy dishes, you may want to use less curry powder. This dish is best served on a bed of basmati rice and with a glass of chilled Riesling. Follow it with a simple dessert -- a scoop of vanilla ice cream complements the spice of the meal.
