This is extremely simple and straightforward. I made it for two using two six-ounce cutlets and kept the whole amount of mushrooms. I served it with Pierre Franey's rice with peas. Perfect for a busy weeknight and a lot of bang for the effort.
Very easy to make, and tasty, but as one other person said, this is SUPER salty. Way too much salt in the mushroom mix...about 1/4 the amount would be MORE than enough
I would cut mushrooms into smaller pieces than I did and increase the amount of curry (even bought a fresh can of spice). very easy recipe. served with couscous and sautéed zucchini (from farmers' market, very small and tasty) with balsamic and mint.
Very different, easy, and unexpectedly good. And WW-friendly!
Delicious! I paired it with Ligurian Risotto. Great combination.
This resulted in very juicy chicken breasts. But I would advise cutting back on the amount of salt added to the vegetable mixture and recommending using a light hand when salting the chicken breasts.
