I love curry but have trouble sneaking it into dishes that the family will love. This one does it! I subbed a sweet white table wine for the brandy and baked a whole roaster chicken (cut up for 1 hr 50min at 375deg F instead of browning. I used whole wheat egg noodles and pretty much stayed with with rest of the recipe. Family thinks this is the best....... I do too! Try it!

I made this dish earlier tonight for dinner. I had to make a few adjustments based on personal taste and ingredient availability, but overall the recipe was great. I didn't have grapes, so I threw in some Craisins instead. I also used boneless/skinless breasts and thighs since neither my mom or myself dig on the bones, I didn't have fresh garlic, so I used garlic powder instead., In retrospect, this was probably a good thing, because I likely would have ended up burning the garlic (my stove flame was a bit too high. I didn't hsve shallots either, so I used a quarter of a sweet onion and it worked just as well. I also didn't have fresh dill, so I used dried instead. The dish was wonderful, though, and easy to make! I recommend this!

I didnt use the brandy, shallots, grapes, egg noodles, or dill leaves. I followed the directions, used onions instead of shallots, and added mushrooms.. soooo good..

This looks like a fabulous recipe. I WILL NOT be able to use Curry. What could I substitute curry for? My brain can't seem to come up with anything.

Now for all of us out there that are looking at this recipe and are "off-put" or say uneasy with the idea of grapes in your brandied curry chicken. I would have to say I was just like you. Having tried this recipe a few times now. I would recommend exactly how Sunny as presented it to us. It is like any other dish, a little love goes a long way with this dish. The only two recommendations I would have is to half of even quarter the grapes and add them at the last 5 mins, and to use what ever hot sauce that is close to your heart. The first time around I had played around with the recipe and had some substitutions. I toned down the curry and added an exceptional amount of hot sauce, I layed off the mustard, completly removed the grapes, added burboun instead of brandie, etc. Even though it was wonderful the second time around I opened up a little bit. Just to see what Sunny was really creating. In the end of it all I wouldnt change a single ingredient, it was right on. Thank you for adding another wonderful dish to my cookbook

I made this recipe according to the directions. Nice dish, however, I made the following changes for my families taste:

I used boneless/skinless chicken thighs, I left out the grapes (we didn't like hot grapes and I only used 1 Tablespoon of Dijon Mustard versus 3. I also parboiled the noodles and then put them in the last 10 minutes to finish. Really turned out nice and the leftovers were wonderful.

Very nice chicken dish. I used only chicken breast which I sliced into thin strips and as a result the cooking time was minimal. I used coconut milk as I did not have any heavy cream on hand and did not use the grapes, mustard or dill for the same reason. I did add a little corn starch slurry to thicken the sauce at the end. Cooked basmati rice separately to accompany the meal....wonderful 30 minute meal; only a hint of curry and not spicy at all. I love spicy Indian food but my family doesn't so this was a good compromise.
