  • 3 cup chopped cooked chicken breast

  • 1 ½ cup frozen mixed vegetables

  • 1 15 ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • Salt and black pepper

  • Toppers, such as plain Greek yogurt, chopped fresh cilantro, and/or lime wedges (optional)

Directions

  1. In a 5- to 6-qt. Dutch oven combine first eight ingredients (through curry powder). Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, serve with toppers.

Curry Powder

Flavorful, aromatic curry powder is a pulverized blend of at least 20 herbs, spices, and seeds. Sunny turmeric is what gives this blend its signature golden hue. It's available in mild and hot varieties, so look closely before you buy.
