"Bomb"bay Chicken


I wonder what this world is coming to? In Connecticut, a raw chicken with a pipe bomb inside was left on the side of the road. (I promise, there will be no "Why did the chicken cross the road" jokes.) The police said that the chicken could have seriously harmed someone who picked it up. Linda says this is one more reason to become a vegan. Police detonated the chicken and no one was harmed but the chicken. Here is a delicious recipe for you meat eaters: Bombay Chicken.

4 Skinless Boneless Chicken 1 c Onion; Finely Chopped
1 tb Whole-Wheat Flour 2 c Apples; Pippin, Peel,
1/2 ts Curry Powder; Plus Core And Dice
1 ts Curry Powder 1 c Raisins
1/2 ts Paprika 1 tb Lemon Juice
1 1/2 ts Italian Seasoning 10 1/2 oz Mandarin Oranges; Undrained
2 tb Fatfree Vegetarian Broth; 2 c Brown Rice; Cooked In Veg broth
2 tb Fatfree Vegetarian Broth; ;
2 Cloves Garlic; Chopped

Cut flilets in 2" cubes. In heavy bag, combine flour, 1/2 t curry powder, paprika, italian seasoning and chicken pieces tossing to coat chicken thoroughly. In med-large skillet over med-high heat, stir-fry chicken in 2 T broth for about 10 min, until chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove from pan. Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Add garlic, onion and 2 T broth to skillet and cook, stirring often, 5 min or until the garlic and onion begin to color. Stir in apples, remaining 1 t curry, raisins, lemon juice and oranges with juice. Cover and cook over med heat for 10 min. Remove skillet from heat. Set aside 1 C of the fruit mixture for topping; stir cooked rice into remaining fruit mixture. Bake uncovered at 350 deg F for 20 - 30 min, until liquid is absorbed and casserole is golden brown. This is EXCELLENT!! Linda says to just leave out he chicken and it sounds like it might be a great side dish.
