I have ingredients that I don't usually use and I wondered how I could use them with chicken breasts.
I have:
red and green chillies
curry powder
ginger powder
cheese slices
red onions
They were bought on the spur of the moment yesterday as I fancied something different but I don't know what to do with them now. :rolleyes:
Can anyone advise, please?

Thanks pawpurrs.
Would you believe that I've never made a curry?
I'll google a curry to see if I should use the chillies.0 -
Flatten the breasts slightly, add chopped onions/peppers/mushrooms sort of a thing and then add in a few chopped chillies in the middle and roll them up. Fasten with a toothpick, if the cheese slices are a nice cheese you can add them in the middle (under the chopped veg) as well. Dip into beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs - bake in the oven for about 30-40 mins serve with a carbohydrate of your choice and veg0

Do you have any natural yoghurt? If you do, chop a couple of chillies, and stir in enough yoghurt to coat the breasts. Add a decent spoonful of curry powder . Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, or you can grill for about 10-15. Chop the onions into rings and gently fry them. Sit the chicken breasts on the onions and serve with salad/rice/boiled potatoes!"Stay Wonky":D

Thank you so much for your replies.
I'm afraid that I just grilled the chicken but today I'm going to be expiremental
and do one of the above recipes as my friend who is staying with me is as fond of chicken as I am.
The reason that I've never made a curry is that I don't buy convenience foods and we have a takeaway each week---a curry. Otherwise I make casseroles, fish, pastas etc. but never had to do a curry.
Thanks.

If you have an old tin of chicken soup (or any soup you think will work for that matter) chucking that in a pan with a few spoonfulls of curry powder makes a handy quick curry sauce.My Doctor told me that "1 out of 3 people who start smoking will eventually die." The other two apparently became immortal.
