FAST CHICKEN CURRY

1/4-1/2 cup light cream
1/4 cup Flour blended with 1/4 cup Water (wisk into thin paste consistency)

4 Cups Cooked Brown or White Rice


Saute chopped chicken in olive oil and butter til light golden brown. Drain excess oil. Add dissolved billion cubes. Stir in curry powder and sugar let simmer 1-2 minutes. Add flour/water mix till sauce starts to thicken. Simmer 1-2 minutes more then stir in light cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over and mix into prepared brown or white rice and peas. Enjoy!

P.S. I also like to serve this meal with steamed broccoli or green beans instead of peas.
