Just a quick drive-by to share one of the easiest recipes I have in my recipe cache.  This is truly one of my “go to” recipes, and it is very tasty for being so simple.

My husband's dinner is smiling at you.

Ingredients
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2/3 c Miracle Whip Light
1 (10 3/4 oz) can Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup or store brand equivalent
1 tsp – 1 tbsp curry powder

• Rinse chicken, pat it dry, and place in slow cooker. Keep it in a single layer as best you can.
• Mix the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl then pour evenly over the chicken.
• Cook on high for about 4 hours. Stir gently before serving.

THAT
IS
IT !!!

Obviously, this is not a true curry dish like you might find in an Indian restaurant.  But, if you like the taste of curry, do not deny yourself this so-easy-it’s-silly recipe.  Many would be happy with just a teaspoon of curry powder.  I go for 1.5 to 2 tablespoons, myself.

Any mayo will work, but I truly think Miracle Whip Light gives it a certain tang that I enjoy.  I’m otherwise not a big Miracle Whip fan, so that says something here.  Other cream soups will work, such as cream of mushroom.  Today, I actually used Safeway’s equivalent to Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Chicken.

In the past, I’ve added things like fresh sliced mushrooms or chopped onions.  Occasionally, I add other spices to complement the curry.  You can use chicken breasts if you want a bit less fat.  I prefer thighs, as they’re nice and moist and used most often in my favorite real curry dishes.

My small thigh and a couple slices of diced and peppered tomato. On a side dish, as always.

I served this to my husband with some Yoplait Light Thick and Creamy Key Lime yogurt.  Later, we may split a mango for dessert.

The best part, of course, is that you spend 5 minutes whipping this into your slow cooker and four hours later, you’ve got dinner.  It can go eight hours on low, but I think the sauce comes out better when cooked on high.  Either way… the house smells great, and it’s almost like someone else did the cooking for you.  Almost!
