"A hint of curry gives this stew its special flavor," writes Elmeda Johnson of Williston, North Dakota. "Topped with tasty moist biscuits, it's a favorite with my family."

Ingredients

  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free plain yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 1/4 teaspoon each curry powder, salt, pepper, ground cumin and ginger

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons cold butter
  • 1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute the carrots, onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add chicken; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Combine the flour, water and wine or broth until smooth; add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in yogurt, peas and seasonings.
