Chicken and Chickpea Yellow Curry



Curry is a favorite of ours when we go out to eat. I've tried making it on the past but it's all been a little 'meh'. This recipe from the Pioneer Woman is quiet delicious. You'll find yourself going back for seconds and even, um, ehem, thirds. I added veggies and replaced a can of chickpeas with chicken breast.  I'd squeeze potatoes in there too if I could but that would add cooking time and this curry is whipped up pretty quick. Curry in a hurry, if you will.
