DINNER PARTY CHICKEN CURRY
Adapted from a 1974 Woman's Day magazine clipping tucked into my Great Aunt's recipe files. The clipping is splotched and well worn, a good sign that this was tried & enjoyed. This recipe has instructions designed for a dinner party - you prepare the curry earlier in the day, keep it ready in the fridge until shortly before your guests arrive (the earlier in the day part takes about and hour to cook, the final cooking takes 1 hours and 15 minutes, plus the time it takes to preheat your oven).

MOM'S DINNER PARTY CHICKEN
My mother liked to entertain when I was growing up and she gave a lot of dinner parties. This wonderful recipe was one of her favourite dishes because it could be prepared ahead of time and popped into the oven shortly before her guests arrived;and she always served it with her savoury Company Rice. I now make it for my family and friends on special occasions.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. So don't skimp on the quality of your chicken, vegetables, and herbs.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the chicken to the right temperature: The best way to ensure that your chicken is cooked safely and thoroughly is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) before you remove it from the heat.
- Let the chicken rest: After you've cooked the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
