When sick, people typically head straight for chicken noodle soup or some other mild-flavored, broth-based soup to nurse them back to health. Not Crystal. Oddly enough, when Crystal is feeling a little under the weather, she craves spice to comfort her. We’re talking hot-and-sour soup, pho with lots of Sriracha sauce, and her ultimate cure-all favorite, curry! Extremely satisfying, this dish’s fragrant spices alone will perk you right up. Serve over steamed jasmine rice or with traditional Indian bread called naan.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
In a large saucepan set over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, curry powder, and salt, and sauté for about 8 minutes. Watch this step closely since the garlic and curry powder can burn easily if left unattended. Using a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.
Step 3
Add the chicken to the pan and sauté for 8 minutes or until almost cooked. If the pan gets dry, add a little more oil. Add the potatoes and onion mixture to the saucepan and stir well. Pour the curry into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Pour the chicken stock into the dish until the curry is just covered.
Step 4
Bake for about 45 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken to a gravy-like consistency and the potatoes are tender.
