How to Make Sweet Sour Chicken Curry Hot Sour Sweet

  1. Cook 1 cup of small pasta shells according to package directions. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground chicken or turkey. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tbsp grated ginger, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tbsp curry powder (adjust to taste), 2 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1 cup chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped carrots. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and additional curry powder or lime juice as needed.
  6. Once the curry has cooled slightly, gently stir in the cooked pasta shells. Serve hot and enjoy!
