CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE
I updated this chicken and rice dish by adding veggies and cashews to give it fresh and crunchy appeal. The green chilies in the tomatoes give it just the right little kick, but if you really like spice, add fresh, diced jalapeño. -Denise Klibert, Shreveport, Louisiana

CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE
I found this recipe and it sounded so good, but it served 100! I tweaked to serve 4 and use ingredients we like, and the results were great! I've got permission to make again, and I know I will. I love to use bone-in chicken thighs, but boneless breasts or thighs would work very well also.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion and celery until the onion is slightly tender, about 3 minutes; stir in mushrooms, and cook 1 more minute, stirring often. Mix in the package of rice mix and water; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Mix the golden mushroom soup, sour cream, and curry powder together in a bowl. Stir about 1 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into the rice, reserving 1/2 cup of soup mixture for later. Spread the rice mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, and arrange over the rice. Cover the chicken thighs with the reserved 1/2 cup of soup mixture. Sprinkle the casserole with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CURRIED CHICKEN WITH RICE
This one comes from my newlywed days when I received a whole set of illustrated recipe cards. I tweaked it to suit our tastes into a very flavorsome and aromatic meal! The rice cooks in the microwave while the chicken works in the frying pan; why--dinner will be ready before you know it--altho' you WILL have to listen to LOTS of begging (as in, "What are you making that smells so good?" and "Are we ever going to eat?").
