CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CURRY
Here, standard weeknight chicken breasts are transformed into a dish that's fragrant and spicy. It's very easy to prepare: just make a quick stew of butter, onions, celery, garlic, apple, tomatoes and curry powder. Blend that together in a food processor until it forms a thick sauce, then combine with chicken breasts that have been lightly browned. Simmer until heated through, and enjoy with a snowy pile of rice. It beats takeout curry by a mile.

This recipe is great for curry lovers or people who want to give a little bit of curry a try. You can easily just grill the chicken and not bother with cooking the marinade into a sauce. Delicious both ways! I served this with saffron rice. The sauce is delicious over the rice as well!

- Stir soy sauce, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and curry powder together in a glass container. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours.

- Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 4 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.

CURRY CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHICKPEAS AND SPINACH
This entire dish is built for flavor - and ease. An ideal ingredient for quick weeknight meals, chicken breasts can be pounded thin, so they'll cook quickly and evenly. Here, the cutlets are dusted in flour to create a delicate, golden crust that seals in moisture, and flavored with Madras curry powder, an Indian spice blend featuring coriander, turmeric, chiles, cumin, fennel, garlic and ginger. Toasting it in oil brings out all its warmth and richness. The curried chickpeas make a wonderful side dish on their own, and would pair just as well with another meat or fish.

CURRY COCONUT CHICKEN BREASTS
Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with a pinch of curry powder, a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Allow to rest on the counter at room temperature for about an hour.
- In a large pan with straight sides, add enough oil to fill 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, dredge the chicken. On 1 plate, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cayenne and a pinch of salt. On another plate, add the coconut, the remaining curry powder, breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, turning the coconut yellow. To dredge, first place the chicken breasts in the flour and coat on all sides. Shake off any excess flour and dunk in the egg mixture. Remove and press all sides into the coconut mixture.
- Fry the chicken in batches to keep the oil temperature around 330 to 350 degrees F. Cook until deep golden brown on 1 side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook about 4 more minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm.

MARINATED CHICKEN BREAST WITH COCONUT CURRY SAUCE
This is different from any other curry I've made in that the chicken is first marinated, and not cooked in the curry sauce itself. The contrasting yet complementary flavors of the marinade and sauce make for an unusual and attractive dish. This pairs especially well with the "Cardamon and Fennel Flavored Rice" recipe which I've posted as well. Preparation time includes 2 hour marinating time. Do not marinate this overnight as the lemon juice will break the fibers of the chicken down too much.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- If you don't have curry powder, you can make your own by combining ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek, and red chili powder.
- Be sure to whisk the cornstarch and water together until smooth before adding it to the sauce, or you'll end up with lumps.
- If you like a thicker sauce, you can add more cornstarch and water to the mixture.
