MAPLE CHICKEN CURRY

My sister made this for me one time and I have made it for others and the recipe has been passed on so many times. My sister ate this at a friend's house and tried to re-create it without the recipe. She tried so many times and discovered that making it great had to do with the cream! Serve with basmati rice with saffron.

My mom tried something similar to this in a restaurant and thoroughly raved about it, so I tried to re-create it for Mother's Day. She loved this version so much that she won't order Maple Curry Chicken in restaurants anymore! Serve over your favorite pasta.
