Quick Curry Chicken

Oh, how we love curry! This recipe was inspired by one at Good Things Catered. It was easy, but not particularly quick with all of my additions :)
Nonetheless, it was a delicious meal and I would most definitely make this again!

Greta's rating: She loved this, but she loves anything with rice. She especially liked the cooked carrots, the squash- not so much.
