Ingredients:
Cooked chicken, chopped (about 2 cups, you can always use more or less if you want)
1/2 diced onion
1 Tbs curry paste (or 1/4 tsp curry powder) I've used both, just depending on what I have on hand. You can always use more or less curry depending on personal taste.
2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs flour
2 cups milk (I'm really just guessing on the milk, since I didn't measure it tonight. I just poured until I thought it looked like enough)
Begin by sauteing the onion in a little bit of olive oil on medium high heat. Next add the curry paste and the butter. (If you're using curry powder wait and add it when you add the milk). Once the butter melts, add the flour and whisk it for about 30 seconds or so. Gradually add in the milk and whisk it all together. Lower the heat to medium and let the sauce come to a gentle boil and thicken, stirring frequently. Once the sauce starts to thicken add the chicken. And it's done. So simple! If you want the sauce to be a little thinner you can add a little chicken stock to thin it out a bit. The fun part is all the toppings you can put on it.
Toppings:
Basically, anything! Tonight we had almonds and diced clementines. Other toppings you can use: pineapple, mandarin oranges, peanuts, green onions, sour cream, coconut, diced red pepper...like I said anything! It may sound weird to put fruit on top of it, but it really is good. I was skeptical when I first tried it, but as soon as I tried it I was sold.
Oh, almost forgot...serve over rice. Tonight I served it over orzo pasta. I like it better over rice, but since brown rice takes about 45 minutes to cook...I settled for the quick cooking orzo tonight!
