Ingredients

4 whole chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs), about 3 pounds total1 tablespoon curry powder2 pounds carrots, cut into 2-inch lengths, halved lengthwise if thick1 cup brown or white basmati rice2 limes, zest slivered and juice squeezed

Directions

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Place chicken in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet; season with curry powder, salt, and pepper. Scatter carrots around chicken. Roast, occasionally brushing chicken and tossing carrots with pan drippings, until chicken is cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 35 to 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan with a lid, bring 2 cups water to a boil; season with salt and pepper. Add rice; return to a boil. Stir, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and scatter lime zest over rice. Cover pan and let steam 5 to 10 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a plate. Sprinkle lime juice over carrots (still on hot baking sheet); toss, scraping up and incorporating any browned bits. Fluff rice gently with a fork; serve with chicken and carrots.

Curried Chicken Puffs

Everytime I make these, they are everyone's favourite new treat! No one will be disappointed! I have requests for these all the time.

Both shells and filling can be made ahead and assembled when needed. The shells can be frozen for up to a month, then thawed at room temperature an hour before filling. The filling can be made up to two days before and refrigerated. Heat the filling gently, and serve immediately in the shells.Submitted by: QUEENYEESH

Chicken Tikka Masala (Maya's Makeover)

DELICIOUS, easy, and now only 214 calories per serving!! This is my modification of a Chicken Tikka Masala recipe on this site. It sounded great, but I wanted to use less oil, didn't want to buy garam masala (when I had the ingredients for it on hand already), added a missing ingredient into the calorie count, and reduced the serving size. Still very yummy! Submitted by: YIYEHTOV

I will make this again, I added some brocli, and snow peas. What I will change is putting the carrots/vegies in when there's like 5, 10min, left. The carrots/veggies that I put the with the chicken were very over cooked by the end. - 10/18/09

did not find there was enough pan drippings to toss the carrots in so added some water. . .was also too much curry for my husband and I so i added a tsp of honey to each leg :) - 3/22/13
