1/4 cup olive oil 1 cup onion, finely chopped 1 cup celery, finely chopped 1 green apple, cored and finely chopped (I use Granny Smith apples) 1/2 cup wheat flour 3 cups chicken broth 2 teaspoons curry powder 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 2 cups cooked chicken, diced Salt to taste 2 cups cooked brown rice
1. Sauté the onion, celery and apple in the olive oil until tender, about 10 minutes. (When freezing this I will cook it less, maybe 5 to 7 minutes.)
2. Mix flour into the sautéed ingredients and stir constantly for about 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat and blend in the chicken broth.
4. Add curry powder, paprika, soy sauce and garlic powder and mix well. Add salt to taste.
5. Gently stir in chicken.
To freeze: Pour into zippered freezer bags or other containers.
On serving day: Pour thawed mixture into pan and heat completely.
Serve over brown rice. For variety, cook 1 cup brown rice with 1 cup chicken broth and 1.5 cups water. About 15 minutes before it's finished, add in some dried fruit. I like a combination of dried cherries and golden raisins with this recipe.
