Recipe Talk

Hi all,

My wife and I are trying to find an old recipe we've managed to lose. Originally, we found it in either a woman's magazine or perhaps the magazine section of the Chicago Tribune back in the mid-90s. It's an extremely yummy Chicken Curry dish made with Ramen noodles and these other ingredients. I can't be sure this is the entire list of ingredients, but these are for sure in it:

-Chicken breast, cut into small strips or pieces
-Yellow curry powder
-Regular packaged chicken Ramen noodles
-green onion
-red pepper
-coconut milk
-garnished on top with fresh cilantro

It was a very easy dish to prepare -- all done on the stove top in a large skillet.

Thank you very very much in advance to whomever can identify and post this recipe!

Chicken Coconut Curry
Serves 6

After stirring in coconut milk, do not let the sauce boil or milk will separate.

1 lb. small red potatoes, halved or quartered

Coarse salt

11/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced crosswise into 3/4" strips

1 Tbsp. curry powder

3 tsp. veg. oil

6 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

3/4 cup canned coconut milk

1 Tbsp. tomato paste

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped

In a medium saucepan, cover potatoes w/ slated water by 1". Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until fork-tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss chicken w/ curry powder and 1 tsp. salt. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp. oil over med-high heat; cook cook half the chicken, turning often, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate, repeat with other half of chicken.

Reduce heat to med-low. Cooke garlic and pepper flakes in remaining 1 tsp. oil, about 1 min. In small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, tomato paste, and 1/4 cup water. Pour into pan, add peas, and stir until liquid just begins to simmer.

Return chicken to pan along with cooked potatoes; toss until warmed through and coated with sauce, 1-2 minutes Serve topped withpeanuts.

*****You can serve this over rice, or if you like noodles, boil some ramen, make your curry sauce a little more watery, and pour that over the top for curry-ramen soup. I had that for dinner today, and it was amazing =)
