For fraghag, the recipe for Maple Curry Chicken Pasta, courtesy of wyndancyr

I only used two peppers, a green and an orange and i didn't use really heavy cream (40% fat), just 10% cream "Blend" we call it. Used about 2 cups of Penne pasta.

MAPLE CURRY PASTA

Servings: 4

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast meat
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup heavy cream (though i use a light cream, 5 or 10% so my arteries don't scream at me)
2 1/2 tablespoons hot curry paste or curry powder



Directions:
1. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and peppers, and cook until onions are soft and translucent. Stir in cooked chicken and garlic, and sprinkle with sugar. Cook, stirring for about 3 minutes, then stir in maple syrup, and cook for about 5 more minutes, until caramelized.
2. Stir in curry paste/powder and cream, and reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
3. Serve over rice or pasta.

Enjoy!

mmm, I have saved that to my memories section.

What is it like as a cold dish? Just wondered because of the party coming up - want new ideas for dishes.

I haven't tried it as a cold dish yet. Last night was the first time i've made it. You'd adjust the spices according to taste too of course. Because there's only a cup of cream in it, the sauce is mostly meat and veg with that creamy taste rather than a cream sauce with a bit of stuff in it. or that's how it came out for me anyway. I'll try a bit before i heat it up tonight though :)

You could use fat-free evaporated milk and have that creamy taste without the fat.I've done it before yum. ( Shelagh here, didn't sign in:)
