Good for lunch or dinner, this warm-weather pasta salad is a complete meal when served over a bed of lettuce with a side of fresh sliced garden tomatoes and warm garlic breadsticks. I usually add more curry powder than the recipe calls for.

CURRY CHICKEN PASTA



Curry Chicken Pasta image

Here in New Orleans there was this great pasta restaurant, Semolina's. They had this great dish, Curry Chicken. I think the place is gone now, so I wanted to recreate that scrumptious dish that I always enjoyed there so many times. Here is my version.

1 c milk
1 c half and half
3 c chicken broth
1 c raisins
1 lb linguine, cooked

### Here are some tips for making this Curry chicken Pasta

  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat of the curry by adding more or less chili powder.
  • Serve the curry chicken with rice, noodles, or bread.
  • Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
### Conclusion This Curry chicken Pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's perfect for a busy family. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The curry is creamy and flavorful, and the chicken is perfectly seasoned. The curry chicken is also great for meal prep. It can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick and easy meal. Here are some additional tips for making this recipe:
  • If you don't have any curry powder on hand, you can use garam масала instead. It's a similar spice that will give your curry a delicious flavour.
  • If you're using coconut milk, be sure to use full- fat coconut milk. It will give your curry a rich, creamy texture.
  • If you don't have any fresh cilantro or parsley on hand, you can use replace it with green onions or ginger.
