Competitors Curry Chicken

My very favorite recipe out of The original Biggest Loser cookbook!

Ingredients:

3/4 lb boneless skinless chkn breasts, trimmed and cut into 1" cubes

salt, to taste

blk pepper, to taste

2 t olive oil

1/4 c chopped onion

1/4 c chopped celery

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tb flour

1 c low sodium chkn broth

1/2 c canned diced tomatoes (I actually use stewed italian tomatoes, I like the flavor better)

1/2 t worcestshire sauce

1/2 to 1 t curry powder

1/8 t cayenne

1/4 c chopped cilantro

Season chkn with salt and pepper. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to a hot skillet. Scatter the chkn pieces and cook stirring frequently for 3 to 5 mins or until browned. Cook lowering the heat slightly for 2-4 mins or until no longer pnk. Transfer chkn to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium, add remaining 1 t olive oil to the pan. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook for about 5 mins, or until just starting to brown. Stir n the flour until well combined. Add the broth. Cook, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 mins until thickened. Stir in the tomatoes, worcestshire sauce, 1/2 t curry, cayenne, and the reserved chkn. Simmer for 2 to 3 mins for flavors to blend. Taste and add up to 1/2 t more curry if desired. Turn off heat and stir in cilantro. Serve alone or over brwn rice.
