Tinfoil Chef

This is something that I sorta threw together one morning when I was in a mood for something that was a bit different and packed a little bit of a kick. At the same time I wasn’t wanting anything so hot that it’d make itself known on the blood pressure monitor either.

What I ended up with was very satisfying and tasty with just a bit of crunch and with the aroma of curry that I’ve come to love quite a bit. There’s really nothing quite like the smell you get when curry powder first hits hot food. What’s really great about it is that it tastes very much like it smells.

I was rummaging around and found some frozen bits of breaded “popcorn” chicken and decided to use that. I started the skillet heating up with some olive oil in it. (butter works good too)

While that was warming up I chopped a couple stalks of celery and added it to the skillet. Then I diced up a medium onion and tossed it in with the celery. We also had some green bell peppers that I had chopped up and frozen a few days earlier so I added roughly half a cup or so of that.

Next came the popcorn chicken, roughly half to 3/4 cup of it added to the mix. I gave this a good stirring to make sure nothing’s sticking and let it cook on a medium heat while I got out some fresh spinach. I chopped up a good size handful and stirred it into the skillet.

When it’s just about done I give it a liberal sprinkling of curry powder and stir that in and let it cook another minute or so. I consider this to be one of my own variations on a “Breakfast of Champions”. Though it would also make a perfectly good addition to any meal (or midnight snack!).
