    I remember a homemade Chicken Curry dish that John's mother used to make. Unfortunately, that is one recipe I never got from her. But, I cannot smell curry without thinking of her homemade chicken curry - it was delicious!

    According to Wikipedia, chicken curry is a delicacy in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. The main ingredients are - can you guess?

    Chicken and Curry! How easy is that?

    Chicken Curry Vs Curry Chicken

    While "Chicken Curry" and "Curry Chicken" are used interchangeably, technically, they are different. The difference is the order of preparation.

    If the curry sauce is prepared first and then the cooked chicken is added, it is called "Chicken Curry". If the curry is added to the chicken while the chicken is cooking, it is "Curry Chicken". This is mainly a cultural difference but still interesting. So, I guess if we are being technical, my recipe, which cooks the chicken first should be called Curry Chicken ;)

    The Best Easy Chicken Curry Recipe

    In an attempt to recreate the delicious taste of the Chicken Curry that John's mom made, I went in search of a recipe.

    The problem was, none seemed quite right. The missing ingredient? Raisins.

    And, raisins are GAPS legal! Chicken curry is a one pot meal. That means - easy cleanup! I am ALL for that!

    The following homemade chicken curry recipe calls for chicken breast but because I multiplied it times 5, I also threw in some chicken that I had frozen from broth making. You know, after you cook a whole chicken in the crock-pot, de-bone it and cook the bones some more to make a super rich broth.

    Sidedishes

    • Serve with rice (try adding herbs and spices)
    • Serve with salad
    • Serve with other Indian dishes such as daal

      This looks and sounds yummy! I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around the raisins, though. I've never made curry before...I suppose that is a traditionally Indian way of preparing it? Don't get me wrong, I like raisins...but that seems so strange in a chicken dish. I don't see any in your picture above...did you use golden raisins?!?!

        Yes, I had golden raisins but they are not required. It is amazing how the sweet of the raisins balances the flavor of the spices!
