I found this recipe in real simple magazine, and I revised it just a bit; here is my revised version. (It's delicious.)

Chicken Curry
serves 8

4 Tbs. olive oil
2 small yellow onions, very thinly sliced
4 tsp. curry powder
1 c. plain yogurt
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
2.5 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbs. lemon pepper
4 c. cooked white rice
1/2 c. fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped

1. Preheat oven to broil setting. Brush chicken breasts with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil, and season with lemon pepper. Broil for 5 minutes on each side, or just until done.

2. Remove chicken breasts from oven, cut into small cubes and set aside.

3. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. Sprinkle with curry powder and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the yogurt and cream, and simmer gently for 3 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper and tomatoes. Remove from heat.

4. Divide the rice into bowls. Top with chicken, spoon onion-curry sauce over top, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

*Notes: The original recipe called for 2 rotisserie chickens, deboned and cut into small pieces. (To save cooking time.) However, I don't like how fatty the rotisserie chickens are, and I like the lemon pepper flavor with the curry. I think you can buy lemon-pepper rotisserie chickens. I just preferred to use chicken breasts.

...it does seem silly to complain about fat in a recipe that calls for heavy cream and olive oil...LOL...but I really hate chicken fat.

Boil chicken for one hour or until the meat falls off the bones.
Sprinkle some salt & paprika on the chicken.
Then eat it with white rice.
It is yummy.

Okay...my friend Denise does hot wings this way (and me too, courtesy of her recipe):

3 lbs. chicken wings/drummettes
1 stick butter
1 bottle Frank's Hot Sauce
Flour
Cornstarch
Oil

Melt butter and whisk together with hot sauce; set aside. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Preheat oven to 350. Roll chicken in flour & cornstarch. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Transfer chicken to baking sheets; brush generously with hot sauce/butter mixture. Bake in oven for 15 minutes, turning once. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

You can't fry all the chicken at once, so I set my top oven to 200, and keep the finished wings warm until they're all done frying and baking. If you don't have a double oven, then let everyone eat the first round of wings while they're still hot. By the time they've demolished them, the next batch will be up and ready to go. :D

You also don't have to bake them in the oven, but it helps caramelize the sauce onto the chicken and makes them a bit yummier. I've considered mixing some brown sugar in with the sauce, but I haven't tried it yet.

I do hot wings.
Just season and fry them without coating.
In saucepan drop in two sticks margerine and a bottle of Louisiana Hot
Sauce.If you are really pressed for time this hot sauce has a wing sauce.
Salt and pepper them and serve them with hot french fries and carrot and
celery sticks.I use blue cheese or ranch sauce to dip them.
